I have to agree with the above post on looking at a reputable bow shop. They have great later model bows that have been gone over by them. Usually with new strings and cables installed. Some shops have demo bows on sale. I assume you want it for next seasson so you have lots of time. Check as many out as you can and get one the feels good to you and you can shoot well. Don't get hung up on names. There are a few good bow companies out there that don't charge an arm and a leg for their bows but stand behind them.
