scent, I was in you shoes a couple months ago. I wanted a new bow so I looked everywhere for the best info , shot everything out their, read everything I could get my hands on, spendt hrs on the internet looking for a deal. finally purchesed a buckmaster G2 for 340.00 off ebay. it was brand new with warrentee it retailes for 499. so I think I got a deal. I love shooting it, it is fast,no noise,no vibration, perfect. I would of got a martin magnun panther they sell for 250.. off ebay and they are great bows with out the price, but this fell in my hands, get what you can afford they are all about the same execpt the price which is relevent on how much most bow companys advertise.. hoyt,mathews,pse,bowtech, they all advertise heavy and the price reflects it thats how the pay for all the advertising
