you need to visit a couple local archery shops. i say this because one shop will carry certain brands over others. at 450$ that should get a you a serious bow!. of course see if you can hold and shoot a couple. if it feels right and its 99$ go with what you like and dont get talked into things. i like to stay with the major brands and a company that has a good track record with customer service and replacement parts.

Two words: Reflex , Diamond

Either of these two brands are great value for the money.

what would be your top three models...i have a PSE NOVA but i dont reaelly like it that much...how about reflex. my dad has one and he likes it and i like to shoot it too. what models would u suggest from there? thanks

If you are just staring out , parker allso makes some nice package bows , those , bowtech , and reflex , would be my sugestions , for a first bow . I got a pse for a first bow , and dont realy think the quality of their low end/package bows is that great .

i just bought a reflex grizzly from archery experts and it was only 299.00 it is fast and quiet so the grizzly get my vote but if that is the one you want you need to act fast eveyone i talked to was sold out archery experts only had one left so just my two cents

yea i have a PSE lower end and ur not kiddin thats why im gettin a new one..what does the grizzly look like... good beginner type cuz im still not that perfect. not to put myself down but i really need practice and it is so hard with school and hunting season goin on.

i just got a new bow 2 weeks ago its a pse whitetailed extreme from bass pro it is may first bow. It cost 330 and came with everything i love it
