RE: Good bow or No?
The bow looks good. I would however probably reconsider buying a bow from a website. You will have to bring it in to a shop to get it all fitted for you, and they will charge you because you didn't buy it from them. If you go to a shop, you can shoot many different bows pick the one best for you. They will then set it up usually for free because you bought it there. Little proshops need support they are very beneficial to the archery community.

Looks like a good bow, I'd be proud to own it. Like theNuge15 said though, proshops are the way to go when purchasing a bow. You will at least want to pay one to set the bow up properly if nothing else.

I will also tell you to go to a pro shop and try different bows and see what you like the best.
I will say that the bow is definetly a good one.
However for the $500 price tag there are a good number of bows on the market that I would choose first.
Archery Research, Alpine denalli and yukon, Diamond Archery, A few from Martin archery, PSE firsestorm light, Parker, Reflex.
Shop around before you buy one that you haven't shot. You may regret it if you don't.

I'd certainly say it's a sweet rig but have you ever shot one? Do you know your DL so that it's a good fit fo you. If you know exactly what you want there are some good deals to be had but if you're just getting back into the sport it likely would be worth a couple of bucks to get set up with a proper fit.
