RE: should i get a new bow?
I bought a 2002 Hoty Protec on ebay for $400, a 2002 Bowtech Generation 3 for $350, and a few other in that range. Wait until the spring, after the new line-ups come out, you will be able to get 2002 and 2003 bows at 1/2 the price paid for them 1 year earlier. Or you could go to a pro shop, depending on how confident you are that you can pick the RIGHT rig for you. Good luck.
BTW, there is nothing wrong with a 1999 bow.
