Ned, If you're looking for a cheap reliable, smooth shooting bow that shoots 302, i would recomend the fred bear element. ever since i shot that bow for the first time I loved it, the first shot i ever took at an animal with it, was a 73 yard shot, double lung, complete pass through. great bows, I would recomend them any day. or the cabelas outfitter series bows made by parker is also a good bet. my old man got one of those this year, whoa talk about a fast, smooth and QUIET bow. another great choice. pm me if u are interested in knowing more.
