Good article in last month's Field & Stream magazine, they review 4 different bows that are all right at $300, very in depth reviews, lot of info. Or go to F&S's website and read it there.
I saw it too. In today's market there's no reason to pay the long dollar for a new bow. Plenty of fast, smoothe to shoot, quiet, forgiving bows to shop for. in the 3-6oo range.
