Just went through it!! I wanted something fast 305+ because I shoot a 525 gr. arrow and like at least a little speed. Wanted fairly short (32"-36&quot..I don't hunt from a tree stand but I think a shorter bow in some of the thick stuff I hunt elk in would be a benefit. Wanted a 7"+ BH. I shoot a lot but my form suffers when there's a bull bugling 5 yards away!! And yes PRICE!! I set my limit at $400. I looked and there are some fantastic bows under that price. I ended up with a.................HC BRUTE FORCE XL for $295 delivered brand new. Hope it lives up to expectations.
