Thanks for everyone's opinions. I narrowed it down to the Nova and a Diamond Raptor. The Nova($250) came with a quivor, sights and whisker biscuit. The Raptor($500) came with the same stuff. After shooting them, both felt pretty good, so I couldn'tjustify spending twice as much on the Raptor. As a beginner I figured after a couple years if I decide I need to upgrade I have $250 to put torwards the Raptor (or something else). Unfortunately I have to wait a couple weeks for the modules to arrive at the store so I can adjust the draw length and get it setup. I can't wait!

Good luck, I'm that "something else" bow will come quicker than you think.

congrats on the Nova. I just called a shop in my town and they have the Nova packages for $299.00. I plan to check them out somtime next week.

Congrats! Getting a new toy is always fun. I know the feeling as i am waiting for my new bow to come in.

I like the nova and they are very nice bow for the price. I have shot one an they are nice bows. Have fun with your new toy.

My first bow was a PSE nova I think it was a 1999 or a 98. Very good inexpensive bow, traded it out for my tribute over the summer. Killed a lot of things with that bow.

Many animals have fallen to the PSE Nova's. Congrats!

I began with a PSE Nova in 1994. I took 2 does and a buck with it. A great beginning bow that will provide years of enjoyment.
