A used high end Hoyt, they make some nice ones.  Really, any old bow will work in my opinion, it's the indian shooting the bow that makes the difference ;)

Where you located Smeb?  On Edit:  I just checked your profile and saw you were from San Antonio.  I am moving there this weekend.  I am from Indiana.  I have an extra Browning bow that you can have to use if you would like.  Let me know if you want it.
On Second Edit:  It does need a new string, but those are relatively inexpensive.  You are more than welcome to it.  I do not need it or use it.  I think the poundage is in the mid 70's not exactly sure.  It could be backed down if you want.

I've had a few, browning rage(from academy) is a good kit bow, its fast and accurate and @300 ready to shoot just needs arrows, and the bear trx series from gander mountain is also a good one for @400 ready just add arrows, thats what I currently use now and I like it....fast, light, and very accurate!

 skip all the package bows................alot are junk.


look on texasbowhunter.com or archerytalk.com     

ie- I sold my 07 tribute(bowtech) with site,rest,stab , new strings and cables for 350. Bow was 759 new,rest and site was 100 a pop. strings were 130. 1100 worth of stuff 2 years ago for 350. Buy a higend bow, used. When you pay 200-300 for a complete set up, you get a 200-300 dollar bow. Shoot a higher end bow and you will see the difference.

Try e bay---I have a tomkat by bowtech---older and not a high dollar bow but forgiving and It loves to stick pigs. if you go to bowhuntersfriend they will list speeds costs and forgiveness of the bows. A cool thing about bowtech is on the box it came in they quoted phillipians 4:13, I can do all things through christ who strengthens me! Good luck===shoulda been a warning of the addictiveness of the sport on the box too   !!!!! JC
