Think about getting a used-in-great-condition bow for that money. I bought a Matthews Halon 32" that was only a couple of years old for $700 and new, I think was around $1400 - not sure. Some guys buy the newest bow on the market every year or two and sell the last one.

Honestly, asking an opinion is a good start, but never buy a bow based on brand.  Id have about 5 options to "look" at, then buy according to feel.  If possible, buy from a shop that allows you to shoot it first. If its your first bow, you be surprised how different they all feel.

$800 I'd look for a used top tier Mathews, Prime or Hoyt. Join archery talk forum. Their
 Classified section is a great place to find a good bow for less money.

The Elite in our Classified section is a great option and less money than you want to spend.
Ebay Prime RVX34 can be bought new for $800 if you aren't set on color or exact poundage. That is a great option.
