Best bow under $500.00

[washingtonmuley]

I am looking to upgrade from an old high country extreme that I have had for years and looking for opinions on the best bow under $500.00
Thanks

I am seriously considering this one.  Every review I have seen has been great.  You could probably get a better bow if you didnt want a package.

Bare bow? Or a kit? I shoot Mathews but have heard great things about the Hoyt Rampage. And I think it's in that price range.

check out the Bowtech Assasin, fully setup for $599,

Bowtech Outlaw 499.99. Mission X3 299.99. Bowtech Razors Edge 329.99.

All very good bows and all under 500.00. Both of the Bowtechs are fully equipped also. I would just change the sights. Best of luck finding one that works for you.

I think your best bet for a bow under 500 would be to find a good used one that is a couple years old.

I got a 2010 Martin Pantera off eBay a couple months ago for about $275. It was from a bow shop and was a demo model. I see the same seller still has quite a few Martins up for auction. One of the Pantera's is a new 2010 model with all the accessories included (Trophy Taker rest, Copper John sight, peep, and quiver) for $482 and free shipping. Seems like a great deal...

I would rather buy one that was not a package deal unless from private owner that has one outfitted.Thanks for the info already posted.

$950?  Are you sure?

The Assasin and Heartbreaker are packaged bow for $599.  I was gonna suggest this if you can bump up the budget.

Oops, you're right.  I was thinking of the Invasion.
