Reflex,mission,and a bunch of others for new reasonably priced bows. Another great scource of a decent bow is go to your local pro shop,ask their advise,then check out good used bow from above advise.

Martin Cheetah or Bengal. Right in that price range.

SevenMag

would ya consider used??? likely you can find a decent 1-2 yr old rig that has most accessories already on it for that price range...

Went thought the same thing a little over a month ago -- learned a lot in the process. Here's a thread that sums it all up: http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2304751&mpage=1&key=?

Bottom line -- shoot plenty of different bows - side by side if possible, be prepared to spend more than your budget, and while everyone has a favorite bow or brand, pick the one that feels best to you. Then get plenty of practice to get confident with your shots.

If you go on ebay , checkout the pearson bows offered by a member by the name of bubbabuck , awesome deals on quality new bows at almost 1/2 the cost of some others .

Ive bought a few from him and been very pleased

thanks to everyone for the advice, i checked out some at my local shop, he had a used PSE thunderbolt all set up for 200 bucks, it felt comfortable and light so I went with that.
