Pinetree, please before you jump and buy a HC just check out this site and compare prices on bows in your range

The news on HC hasn't been very good of late.

you may want to consider the mathews sq2. Just discontinued this year and around my area are going for under 500. i love mine. If you need accessories (sights, quiver, new arrows ect) that obviously jacks the price up. Just a suggestion though. probably lots of good bows for under 500 out there. good luck

I would take a look at the new Martin line. I bought a Martin Prowler SE for $350 from Eders.com. This bow might be a little short for you with the SE limbs but, I bet you could find a better match with their magnum or straight limb designs. Martins are fine bows in my opinion.
Good luck.
Good luck.

If the Pro shop in Panama City is a good one, I think you would be well served to let them set you up with a High Country. The new High Coutry bows I've seen, have been very impressive, especially if you want a very light weight bow. A good bow shop will take care of any problems you encounter (which is likely to be none). However, when you do need service, it sure is nice to have a local person who will take care of you immediately.

Well, the final decision hasn't been made as of yet.. I tried looking under the hunterfriend.com but couldn't even find HCA listed on the comparsion charts... But I still as looking hard at it.. it is less than 4lbs but not a carbon riser, which seems kinda strange to me anyhow...
