As much as I hesitate to recommend actual brand names, I'd suggest looking at Mission bows. They're born from Mathews and offer solid value for a 1st rate bow without the 1st rate price. For 1 thing it's much easier to get a longer draw length (longer than 30") with a sensible brace height. I'm a long time Mathews man but still shoot my old Switchback XT. In fact the next bow I get when I update will be a Mission Voyager XT. You can get a quality bow AND all accs and still have change left over for hunting license!
