Paid 720.00 plus tax on an 09 Air Raid. I am not regretting it.

I bought a brand new dealer closeout '08 Allegiance for $500. Added a HHA single pin slider, Octane 2pc quiver, WB Deluxe, sling, peep, andsts(all new) for right at $200. Got it all on AT...sure beats retail. I also unloadedtwo older bows to offset the price....so I really don't have hardly anything in my new setup. So far I love it!

I also bought both my kids new Diamond Razor Edge packages...those are awesome bows as well! I highly recommend them, and for about $300 for the setup, they are money!

bought a new mathews drenalin at the end of last year for around $700 give or take. i absolutely love it and knew i would since i previously owned the switchback. i dont know if you like short axle to axle bows or not, but if you get a chance shoot the mathews dxt or the mission eliminator and if you like it i have a basicly brand new never been hunted with mission eliminator that im trying to sell. im sure if you like it we could work something out. plus i think you are within driving distance that we could meet instead of going through the mail. just a thought. not trying to push a sell on you, just trying to help out a fellow HNI member save money. if you are interested pm me and we can discuss it.

I bought a left over Elite GTO before last years hunting season. Paid 550 for it plus a viper sight ($100) and a whisker biscut ($40). Throw in a dozen maximas for 100 bucks and ive got about 800 in my whole rig. Truly a top of the line hunting bow too, I love it!

Not a recent buy, but I got a sweet deal years ago. I bought a fully rigged PSE Thunderbolt with a Black Montana sight, Badoodle rest, Scott release,six brand new Carbon Express arrows, and a pack of brand new Spitfire 100's for $500. The guy shot the bow only a few times and never hunted with it. He got into big time debt and had to sell just about everything he owned. I shot it a few times before I bought it, but I knew it was mine after the first shot. It's the quietest bow I have ever heard, and pulling 68 pounds, it shoots 265 fps. It may be outdated, but I've killed many deer with it, and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon.

I dont wanna share the $ that ive put into archery this year[:-] I will say that i do love the sport in general, the target and hunting side, and i truly believe that you get what you pay for... Bows dont make archers and money doesnt buy points, but it sure does help in the confidence department haha:D

I personally think the higher end bows shoot much better and feel better than the cheaper bows. I have had everything from $75 bows up to $700 and there is a big difference to me. I noticed a big difference on my accuracy at longer ranges.

I have had just about every brand out there too. I will never shoot another cheap bow. If you dont want to pay the full retail shop around. You can find some really good deals on a bow that is 2-3 yrs. old and they are really great bows too.
