I really value the opinions of all you archery hunters so I need some advice. I want to get back into bow hunting this year and need to get a bow. I have three problems. 1. The bow I have was given to me and is a VERY old AMX compound that is too big for me 2. Money (I need to get something under $200and seeing I'm just getting back into it I don't want to drop a major amount of cash). 3. Draw length. (26")
I was thinking about an Alpine Micro or is this just a youth bow? Or can any one recommend a different make & model? I've scoured the archery stores & classifiedsin my area and the used bow selection is slim.

Those are some strict guidelines..The micro doesn't have alot of poundage.I would try to go with atleast 50lbs.More with mechanicals.
If you could squeeze 1 more inch into your drawlength this is a good deal.

If not then this one looks good.

I'd check out http://www.huntersfriend.com/compoundbows.htmfor some ideas. There have been some posts on this forum where people have ordered from them and so far I've not heard anything bad. Good luck.

You might want to look into a Jenning CMX. If you watch you can pick one up for around $250. It isa little over the price you wanted to stay within, however has a complete range of adjustability. It will fit a draw length of 26-31" with its modular single cam system. It is available in 60# or 70#. Just a direction you might want to look into. Hope it helps, and good luck!

how this sound. Reflex gamegetter Price$209 Has reflex cam 1/2 allows adjustments from 25'' to 30'' draw length. You can get it in 50,60, or 70 pound peak draw weight. Its on keystonecountrystore.com only thing is its not outfitted. hope this helps.
