Debating on buying a new bow.
I am leaning towards buying a new bow. My spending range would be from 300-500 for just the bow. Some of my top choices im looking at are Hoyt, Diamond by Bowtech, possibly Fred Bear, and possibly Parker. If anyone has any other these bowsor has any info on what a good choice would be. Just post on here. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

RE: Debating on buying a new bow.
cant lose with really any of the ones u mentioned..shoot them and go for the one with less noise..
comfort...etc. buying a new bow will not help u kill more deer..if u have a modern bow with speed
camss..mayb save ur money until they start shooting at over 400fps
i love the mathews..but i

RE: Debating on buying a new bow.
I bought the Browning Rage, 3 years ago but im not for sure how fast it shoots. I shot my first deer this year with it. I know it doesnt shoot really that fast cause my friend has a fred bear element and his shoots faster than mine. I thought about buying a really nice sight and drop away rest for this bow I have and re-stringing it but thought I could just put that money towards a new bow and have the new bow last me for another 4 or so years.

Like everyone else said, go shoot some.
I will throw in another vote for the TomKat. I have an 07' TomKat. I was going to buy a new bow this season and use the TomKat as a back up, but I honestly have no reason to. The TK isthe most over looked bow on the market. I love the short ATA, perfect for shooting out of climbers. The speed matches the top of the line bows. It has a generious brace height which makes it a very forgiving bow. Its quite and has no noticable handshock. To me, you can't chose a better HUNTING bow.
They didn't keep it in the 08' line up for nothing!
Only complaints are the cheap grip and cheap quiver.
