i bought a 2002 Pearson' s 440 Quad Kit for under $500 with arrows and trigger...along with everything else..

Just go to your local pro shop and look around, as long as you have everything (Sight, rest, etc..) you wont have to spend $600 on a bow...good luck

You are gonna get out of it what you put into it.. thats MHO.. but some guys will disagree.. it doesnt matter how much it costs as long as it fits you.. it doesnt have to be super fast.. just accurate and quiet..everyone has their favorites.. shoot what fits your budget and YOU

Reflex, a division of Hoyt , sell some bow for $500 and less that seem very nice. But I agree with the others, go to your local Pro shop and try a few and shot what fitts you and your buget.Good Luck!!!

There' s a thin line between bravery and stupidity

Sometimes some Pro Shops will make it seem like you have to have the top of the line to take a deer just to take in that extra doller. They' re wrong. Give them a price limit and try to work them so you' ll will get the best for YOUR money. But like the previous posts, go for the one that feels best to you.

I agree with Josh_E in the fact that you should find one that fits you and you like. Go to your local pro shop and shoot a few different ones and see which one you like. Reflex makes a good bow but I know my pro shop has some of the new Hoyt came and a half bows at a very reasonable price. I had a Golden Eagle well I actually still do have two of them but have had them for years and never a minutes problem and their customer service is great as well....

Bowtech make some really good bows in the lower to mid range.
Check out the Blackhawk or the TomKat package that includes a quiver, sights,peep,arrow rest and a wrist sling.

Both have good brace heights with 8" for the Blackhawk and 9 1/8" for the TomKat.

I agree with all the advice. and everyone has good bow ideas check out Renegade (the poormens Matthews) lol.

champion bow co. and buck knives teamed up to make a line of bows. the " buck sabre" retails for about $200, and seems to be a great bow. a little plain looking but shoots good.

My local pro shop has a Pearson (i don' t remember what model) with sight, rest, & release for $389.99. Seems like it might be an inexpensive way to go.

I bought the Parker Hunter Mag setup. So far I love it although I' m a fairly new bowhunter so I dont have much to compare it to. Everything you need for $435.00.
I' m not cheap when it comes to hunting equipment but I also dont jump on to the " got to have the newest, most expensive, the guy on tv has one" band wagon.
The Parker seems to be high quality at a fair price. Try one out.

I have been a Darton fan for years, and really like their CPS system. However in their great wisdon they quite using this on the lower priced bows and went with the Mathews type cam. Have to get into the $400 range to get their CPS. HOWEVER, Reflex has a " Gamegetter" package that uses Hoyt' s cam and 1/2 (based on Darton' s CPS with 4" of drawlength built in). Cabelas has had it for $245.99 for the package - bow, quiver, rest, sight, peep and wrist sling. Nice shooting bow and won' t break the bank. You don' t need $500-$800 bows to shoot deer at 20-25 yards - like said above just need something quiet and accurate. However, find one that fits you and feels comfortable to YOU. Don' t skimp a few $$ to get something that you won' t like a year from now.

I picked up a Merlin Shadow for my son off of e-bay last year for $118 inc. the shipping. Put about 100 into it with the simms stuff, a whisker biscuit, Impact archery sight, quiver, and sling al obtained off ebay and have a bow that will outshoot my $500 + Darton! Here was my last shoot/tuning round in the backyard. 6 arrows at 22 yards. That will work for me anyday!

RE: who makes the best " cheap" bows?
