The $500 budget came from finding the PSE mentioned above as a package deal, rest, quiver, bow, sights, loop, etc. I cant seem to find it near that price else where, so was leaning toward it.

I have no doubts there are better deals to be had. Im so dated...the last time I shot the Pearson Match there was guys amazed when my Jennings bow chronoed a smoking fast for the time.......196FPS. Now guys are hitting what? nearly 400 FPS? Unreal 20+ yrs ago.
