I shoot a PSE Kudu recurve in 50#@28" that I got from Cabela's for $250 . You can buy heavier or lighter libs for it since it's a takedown , so it can adjust with you as you grow . Add Limbsavers™ and a stabilizer and you'll still have less than $300 in it . I've seen a used model of the same bow at a pro shop for $150 already tricked out similarly to mine . Shop around , don't fall for the "expensive bows are better" hype .

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A HOYT. i would suggest to get some kind of hoyt that goes up to like 80 lbs max. they have consistent dead on accuracy and are the best bows made yet. on the other hand, Reflexes are fantastic bows. otherwise, if you got $700+ buy a mathews. kind of like hoyt.

P.S. GOOD CHOICE on the Hoyt Selena. Vicki on ARCHER'S CHOICE uses one. Outstanding. they are really darn good bows. i think i know what my next bow is going to be.

Get yourself a Reflex. Great value and the cam 1/2 has a fair bit of draw length adjustability for you to grow into.

$500 for a second bow for a 15-year-old is a little steep! (Don't you think?)
Im 14 and I bought my fist bow by myself($300). Im gonna buy my second this summer which will hopefully be a Hoyt Vtec which is $659 bare bow. I will have over $1000 in it after im done. Parents think im stupid(neither hunt) but I want something that i can rely on and something that i want. $500 for a bow isnt THAT much compared to what it can be.

yeah i agree. 500 dollars isnt all that much, especially if its something you want. my family aint no rich family either. i saved up all my money by myself by helping some guys i know in construction, so it wasnt any mcdonalds job either.

When I was 15 I bought a Browning Rage. It has an adjustable draw length, so I was able to grow with the bow. Used it for 3 years and changed the draw length every hunting season.

A very good bow IMO.

What about a used bow you can save a bunch of money and get a real quaility bow. I just got a Mathews LX all set up with a dozen carben arrows fort $250.00. Save your money and get to some clubs and check their bulliton boards ya never know what you'll find. Mike

You can also go to Archerytalk.com classifieds. It is a good bowhunting community. I would buy from there before I bought off ebay.
