RE: Bow Quality Question
If you are looking for a quality bow at an affordable price, I would really suggest taking a look at a Reflex. They are made by Hoyt, but without the price tag. Very high quality IMO. There are also some others that are very good bows as well. I am just speaking from experience with the Reflex line.
Take a look at High Country, Parker and Champion as well. Very nice bows for the money.
