As a relatively new bowhunter, I am looking at purchasing a new bow before next season. (My first one cost $80 from a pawn shop, but it has gotten thejob done.) I'm looking for quality on a college student's budget. So far, some inexpensive bows are the PSE Deer Hunter, PSE Nova, and PSE Dakota. Any suggestions on these or others? What is the most important thing I should consider when buying a new bow for myself? Thanks!

Usually with archery eqipment, you get what you pay for!

If you are looking for "new" I would suggest looking at either a Bowtech Tomkat or a Hoyt Ultramag. I have owned both and are excellent bows for the $. If "new" is not important then I would look at a used bow, something top of the line 2-3 years old.
You can buy a new Hundai but, thats what you'll have. Buy a used Cadillac and you have a Cadillac!

Get a used top of the line bow from either Hoyt bowtec Mathews Darton and others. Just get a 2 or 3 year old one and you will have a great set up.
