The bow I am looking at, and maybe someone can input aboutthis one too, I the Cabelas Outfitter 1.5. The kit price is like $540, but it comes with your choice of 2 sights, your choice of 2 rests, one being a WB, quiver and something else that I cant remember right off.

Look at some bow stores they may have used bows like a solo cam or dif very good bow for around $400 or $500. By looking at some post on this sight there is a ton of allmost new bows sold every day.

I bought a new Hoyt Utrasport this year. Toxonics sight, Whisker Biscuit rest, Alpine Soft Loc quiver, Limbsavers, 6 Easton Epic carbon arrows and paid about $550 for the whole
setup. So far I am very happy with this bow for the money. But I shot several bows before choosing this one and would suggest you do the same. Buy the best bow you can in your price range but make sure it feels good to you when you shoot it. Good luck.

I just upgraded after 10 years myself. Santa brought me a new Parker and I love it. Very smooth bow. And when I called Parker with questions they where very helpful. Check out the Parker bows.
