Basspro while not necessarily the best proshop does have some pretty good package deals. I bought a reflex grizzly ( which is made by Hoyt ) with a 2 pc quiver, sight and rest for under 400 bucks. If i find I get more serious about archery I can upgrade but my grizzly would make a good backup bow for not much money. When we hunt moose we are a 2 day drive from home and pro shops so its best to be prepared for the worst situation. You might want to look at a used 1 or 2 year old bow also. I would not drop a grand right away.
