I bought my current bow, a 2004 Reflex Excursion for around $180 on E-Bay, 5 years ago. It has help me kill a ton of deer over the past 5 years. All you need is a bow that accurately shoots out to around 25 yards, and you are set.

don't buy a parker their adult bows have a really rough draw go with the pse

Update....just found an older Bear Dual Cam compound at a local pawn shop for 30 bucks. It's older, but seems in good condition...should I go for it, or hold out...
