Buck Magnet.......yes you can afford a high quality Hoyt bow.
I believe that Hoyt still offers either the MAgnatec or MTSport as a package deal for about that price with quality accessories(I saw 2001 model packages for like $279) .
If you shot that Baby-G next to either of those bows and liked it better......butter it up cause' I'll eat it!
I had a Baby-G myself......I won't go into it here, but lets just say that we didn't get along very well.
In my ever so humble opinion it ranks in the top 3 worst/hardest to shoot bows since Neanderthal man was running around shooting Wooly Mammoths with stick bows and stone tips.......in fact I'd personally rank the Baby-G slightly ahead of an Atlatl for shooting enjoyment and accuracy.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
I really don't know how else to put it.....you don't want a Baby-G. Especially over some of the other options out there.
Like I said Hoyt has some high quality inexpensive bows that will shoot rings around the Baby-G.......as well as one of the new package bows by BowTech for around $399. Their new TomKat has a 9.5" brace height with quality sights,stabilizer,rest etc. and it shoots around 290 IBO with a 4" HIGHER brace height than the Baby-G!!!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>It is selling for around $400 at most dealers.(come on, you knew it was coming!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>).....there are also other many many other bows out there that are much more forgiving and fun to shoot than that particular PSE.....including some other PSE's!!
I know it sounds like a great deal for it.....but it's just one of those thing where you are either going to have to trust someone who's been there......or find out for yourself.
Do yourself a big favor and keep shopping......we'll be more than willing to help you spend that $$$ the right way!.....I love spending other people's money!
