welcome to the board
Take a look at Hoyt Thunderhawk
A lot of bang for the buck

i am partial to hoyts but if you are looking at a bow economically, i would say that the hawk series bows are a good deal. i was at a couple shops this weekend and saw the superhawk priced at $450 and the turbohawk priced at $550. the turbohawk is pretty nice and claims to get good speed. to not be partial though, it looks like diamond has some really great bows for the money. the best thing to do is find a good pro shop and try them for yourself and choose which bow is right for YOU. good luck.

I just bought a Martin Cheetah package from BPS for $516.00. I scrapped the sight provided because it was junk but kept the rest of the package. It's super smooth, fast, quiet, and the smaller axle to axle is great for tree stand shooting. The only thing I don't like about the bow is the rubber grip but you can upgrade to the wood grip for for 30-40 bucks and install it yourself. I think for the price it's a great deal.

PSE makes some nice bows but IMO there are better.I'd look at Hoyt,Bowtech,Diamond and Mathews as well.

Truthfully, you have to go shoot all the bows you can. You will know the one that is right for you. What I shoot may not be what is comfortable for you. This is the best part of buying a bow, you get to shoot them all.

What camelcluch said. It is hard to go wrong with any of the modern bows, IMO, when you get to the $400 plus range, but you need to see what you are comfortable with.

I shot the Diamond Stud when I was looking, and it is a good bow, but I spent some more money to go with the Iceman.

Good luck!

if you can, stand close to thier target wall and shoot with your eyes closed, doesnt matter where the bo hits, just see how it feels.find the one that feels best, and put a shop set up on it, and shoot it more. see how you group with it

You can also go with Mission my Mathews they have some awesome bows with good speed and there dont cost you an arm and a leg. I have the Mission UX2 and it is a great bow.
