I bought a Pearson Anaconda on Ebay for $300 with LimbSavers, Bodoodle rest, peep, and 3-pin sight. I ended up taking it to the pro shop and re-setting the peep, loop, draw length- waste of money having someone do it not hands on. I changed back to my old Bodoodle pro and also changed the sight to a TRNitro Extreme. Probably totaled a little over $400 with new Kwiki Kwiver and Doinker. I love my bow but have seen some comments that it has a hard cam which might not be good for some. I think I have gotten used to it. I have seen a Fred Bear Vapor 300 on Ebay for <$275. complete package. Looks like a good bow but someone else on here could tell you good or bad. I am a firm believer in supporting your local pro shop but I also have 3 kids and an endless supply of bills, so I would have no problem buying a new bow by mail to get more bang for the buck. Just expect to take it to the pro shop to have it set up. Probably need to know draw length as some require different modules. Also, check out ArcheryWorld.com. I read through their discussions on pros/cons on different bows. Once you get through the "my bow is better than your bow" stuff you can get some good opinions. And obviously, this site can provide you with endless and probably the best quality opinions and info.
