Mathews DXT, S2, or Hyperlight. Also, I hate to say it but, the Hoyt Alpha Max is one heck of smooth draw.

First go to a pro one in your area which is recommended highly. He will set you up witha bow that fits!!! That is the most important issue, then shoot several bow, find one you shoot well and suits the purpose you intend on using it for..

just go shoot em, buy whats comfortable and in his price range, all bow companys are pretty reliable these days

not all bowcompanys can be trusted

ok , let me rephrase that, most well known bow companys are reliable (bowtech, mathews, hoyt, bear, ross, pse, etc.)

I went with a Mathews S2 last year set at 62#.Very satisfied.

The Diamond Stud would be a good choice or the Black Ice but the Black Ice may be more than your budget.

Check ebay or other similar options for a used Mathews...could find one set up nicely for that price...I'd prefer a used Mathews over most other new bows.
