Have a 99 Martin Fury, with a few A/C/C arrows and case..Will let it go for 300.00 and save you 200.00... But it's up to you.

Your budget would allow you access to just about anything. I gave $500 for my omen but that was bare. Archery talk is a great place to shop around right now because everyone is dropping their old bows for the newer exciting 2011 models. Now is definitely the time to buy.

I have heard this on here before. "It is easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission" Never tried it but go for it.

Archery talk is a great place to shop around right now because everyone is dropping their old bows for the newer exciting 2011 models. Now is definitely the time to buy. What he said. The only good thing about Archery Talk is great deals on used bows. Bought my last two bows from there. $500 will get you just about any bow you want.

try a mathews mission maniac or a venture! they have lifetime warranties on the limbs cams an all not the stings though. but a good quality bow for a decent price the draw wt has a wide adjustment range. but most of the bows they have said are good ones also. one other one would be the bowtech assassin comes compltey loaded an the sweet more like the working mans destroyer
whatever you are be a good one
