All good tips here. Make sure your fitted for proper fourm is a big one.
In the past I've had Browning's and Mathew's.
I shoot a low end Hoyt now.(Super Hawk) it has a cam and a half and has 75% let off. That bow is four years old and I shoot it well. I'm ready for a new one as well
Now that Im a little older I will sacrafice some speed. I'd get a solo cam with an easy roll over and an 80%er in the let off dept.
The new Bears are nice. My son shoots one and always has. There not as expensive as some of the higher end stuff, and I beleive the quality is there. A good drop away rest, quiver, carbon arrows,stabilizer,fiber optic sight,and your on you way. All in your price range. Take photos post em up. Good luck in choosing.
B-Well
