RE: Good bow or No?
I will also tell you to go to a pro shop and try different bows and see what you like the best.
I will say that the bow is definetly a good one.
However for the $500 price tag there are a good number of bows on the market that I would choose first.
Archery Research, Alpine denalli and yukon, Diamond Archery, A few from Martin archery, PSE firsestorm light, Parker, Reflex.
Shop around before you buy one that you haven't shot. You may regret it if you don't.
