Best bow under $500.00

I purchased a martin slayer for 170.00 brand new. It's now ready to shoot at just 400.00, bow and accessories. Shoot's fast and quiet.

Diamond bows are priced pretty well and have all the same technology as the bowtech bows except the diamonds are single cams.  The iceman shoots nicely.

The best bow for the money and I do mean the best is the G-5 Hammer. Its under 500  bucks and it is one tough bow. I have been shooting bows over 30 years and have used a lot of them. Hoyt,BowTech,Diamond,Jennings,Clear Water to name a few. The Hammer bow shoots up their with the best of them. It is well under 500 bucks.

I've been waiting for 25 years to hunt a Dall ram and this year it finally comes true.  Working in the archery industry I am blessed with the ability to shoot anything I want.  I have seven of todays top bows hanging in the trophy room.  Since the ATA show I have been shooting them all trying to make up my mind which I will be taking.  I liked the Invasion CPX best until I got a Bear Assault ($549.95 MSRP) for a good friend.  In setting it up for him I found I shot it better than my aging eyes can see.  Not sure how that's possible but true.  So I had the guys at Bear send me one for myself.  Nothing fancy, no blistering speed, a little louder than the Invasion and single cam which I usually don't like.  But, I am REALLY liking where the arrows are falling - Wow!  Absolutely No Question it is the bow I will be shooting up north.  Invasion ($899.95 MSRP) will be my backup.

I'm not sure what the pro-shops are selling this bow for as most are under the MSRP.  I would expect it will be very close to $500.00.  I would recommend strongly that you try one out at your local Bear dealer.  Very best BANG for the buck in my humble opinion.
