RE: Good bows
Lefty, Martin makes a couple nice entry level bows that shouldn't break the bank. Probably in the $300 range. Good quality for the money.
Parker is nother one. They have a BuckHunter/kit that is a nice entry level bow for around $300. Sight, rest, quiver and 4 carbon arrows I think. For a little more money, $430, they have the Hunter Mag Outfitter which is quite a step up. Again, completely outfitted, and the accessories are not complete junk like I've seen on the lower end PSE line.
