Use to shoot when I was young with my dad and brother. My brother just got back into bowhunting last summer and now I am. I am in college (but about to graduate inDecember, Double FINANCE/REAL ESTATE)so I cant go all out with the bows but want one that will be nice for a while.
Which one is a better deal?

Thanks guys

Lets say the budget is up to $500 which would you guys recommend and why?

I want it for deer, pig, and turkey hunting.

If I'm gonna spend $500.....I'd likely go with a Diamond or a Bowtech Tomkat.

Just me, though.........

They have 2006 Diamond Rapture package on that page for $499.
That would be my choice on that page for $500.

Do you think the Wildfire is worth the step-up in price?

RE: Getting back into Bow Hunting need a opinion on two bows...
 

Looking at those bows, I don't think you would go wrong with the Diamond, Parker or Martin. All are going to be good packages at that price, all are fairly short ATA, with parallel limbs and at or above 300 fps. I would shoot before buying is my last advice. One will likely stand out to you. Also, all those bows should be on display and possible shooting at Cabela's or Bass Pro.

Check out Reflex. INSANELY awesome bows for the money.

I agree with these guys. For $500,I would look into a Diamond or a Reflex

You know the more I look at that site, I like the Diamond Rapture pkg. I see you would have your choice ofrests, between a WB and a QAD.

Which both are great rests. Good Luck

pearson z-32 or z-34 goes a little over $500 but will be your best bow for your money...IMP don't buy a bow from a cabelas, bass pro or online though

The price on their Tribute package is really good.
Look at the accessories (not all top shelf), but pretty good.
BUT, you have to qualify for the Bowtech in the Boonies program to get a Bowtech off their website.

I'm guessing most people buying a Tribute would probably not want to order over the internet unless they knew exactly what they wanted and had a lot of archery know-how. For me, a pro-shop was definitely worth it. That's what they do for a living.

If you do buy from Bass Pro or Cabela's, find someone who knows what they are doing. They do have some knowledgeable archery people, and some that are not. Look for the guy doing all the tuning on the bows.
