Default Looking for a new bow.

Hey guys thought u could help me out. Rite now I am shooting a PSE Nova. I hate it. I want a bow that is fast. Smooth. Accurate, and not $$$$$$$$$$$$! 450 maybe at the most. What do you think? I was thinking Jennings Buckmaster???

I have a BowTech Pro40 which I really love. Might be a bit above your price range though. They have other models that may be less expensive.

You might want to give the Hoyt Magnatec a try. It is available in either a dual cam or a single cam version. Both have adjustable draw lengths and variable let off features.

The Magnatec has a faster IBO speed rating than the Nova with about the same brace height and a shorter axle to axle length.

Price is around $400 for the XT2000 limbed version and around $290 for the ZR200 version in my area.

I second the magnatec. I have one. It is my first new bow after shooting a used one for a year or so. Great shooting bow for the money. Good luck.

i really like my nova one cam.with the carbon arrows its pretty fast. shoots nice and flat at the 3-d shoots. maybe save your money and have a pro-shop tune it. just a thought. sometimes i look at other bows and want to upgrade,but the PSE shoots pretty darn good.

What's wrong with the Golden Eagle?I have a Golden Eagle Splitfire and I think it's a great bow it's smooth and real quiet and shoot's very well and it's also very comfortable to handle and is also around your price range I'd try it first before I'd drop it from the list I'm sure you would like it .
