I would look into Reflex's. I shoot one and I was in the same position as you....It cost me about $250 bare bow for the excursion. It is deffiantly a nice second bow.

I just bought my new bow this week. It was also my second bow and i am 15. It depends how much money you want to spend but more of which bow you like the best. Dont listen to which company you want go to the shop with an open mind and shoot around. I am looking at a very expensive set up that i am embarrassed to say how much I am spending. I just bought The bowtech tribute and cant wait for it to come in. I am paying for everything. Hope you get the right bow good luck.

I hate to lecture,but when I was 13 I saved the money I made shoveling snow, delivering newspapers, and mowing lawnsto buy a used recurve. The best thing about it was that it was mine and I earned it! $500 for a second bow for a 15-year-old is a little steep! (Don't you think?)

One with a fair amount of adjustability. Both draw length and draw weight.

That wayyou know you cancount on keeping the bow for a number of years if you don't have the funds later to buy a new one when you continue to grow.

Think proactive, not reactive!

Other than that, the others have good suggestions and you should definately try shooting a wide range of bows before you buy.

Hope this helps, good luck and have fun in selecting your new bow!

I am 15 teen and shoot a hoytmagna tec. They don't make them any more but I think the ultra sport is almost the same model. A reflex makes good bows also.
