i hope to be replacing my old bow after this hunting season. i will be 17 next week, and for the most part i believe that i am done growing, my draw has not changed since i got my bow 4-6 years ago. The bow i have now is my first bow a browning ragewhich max's out at 55, and i am lookin for a bow that will be prolly 60-70# draw weight. Sooo if you have any ideas, and i dont want to spend a ton of money; however, i do understand that it wont be cheap for a bow of good quality.so if you know of any happy medians that would be great. thx.

If you are looking to save money but still have quality there are many choices but I would recommend something from the Diamond Line by Bowtech. Quality single cams for the box store pricing eventhough they can be purchased at a pro shop also. There is no sacrifice in quality.

Or you can step up to the Binary Cam system and get the BowTech TomKat.

pro shop last yrs models

Another good choice is the Reflex line of bows by Hoyt. They have the Cam and a Half system and are very good performers for the money. Additionally the cams are draw length adjustable over I believe a 2 or 3" range.

I would be wary about buying a bow with non adjustable cams in the event that you do hit a growth spurt, or find that the draw you have been shooting for the last couple of years is either too long or too short.

I recomend you take a look at martins new bengal. It has all the features of a high end bow at half the cost.

I just shot an Elite Energy, and they are sweet. They are about the same as a Bowtech but quieter. They start at about $630 tho. But if you can pull that off take a look at em.

Just bought a Bear Element. The package was $359 at Cabelas. Shoots 300 fps and extremely quiet. Cant wait to use it this year. Check it out.

I shot over 20 bows this year while I was looking for a new one. I'm now the proud new owner of a Bowtech TomKat. It was the best bow for "ME".
But I suggest you give it a try too.
