    I'm looking at getting a new bow this year or next. I definitely don't have a bunch of money to spend on a bow and I'm growin out of my old bow. I would like a to buy that i can adjust the draw length on. I've been lookin at some of the pse bow such as the PSE Vision but Id like some suggestions.

    I bought my son a PSE Vision and he loves it. Before that he had a Diamond Edge. The PSE is a smoother easier draw at the same draw weight.

    Bear Attitude! I picked mine up for a steal, I think loaded they run right at $299. I've taken one deer so far this year with it, I love this bow.

    Go to an archery shop and figure out what draw you are then look on craigslist for a little bit older bow. You can get the top of the line couple years ago bow for the same price as a new cheap one.

    I second this. Bear products are great bows at an affordable price. Easy to adjust and thier customer service is awesome. I've shot all my deer with a Bear Encounter and have learned to make adjustments on it myself. Trophy Ridge components are also good. IMHO.

    The mission line is awesome. Don't know how much money you have to spend, but my Uncle bought a mission last year and it is honestly a sweet bow, draw is smooth, and it holds very nice!

    I was hunting with some relatives in Alberta this year. My brother's son-in-law picked up his first bow, a PSE Vision in July. Second week of September he got his first kill...ever.....and with his PSE Vision.

    How big/ old are you? Are you still young with more growing left to do? Get something with a wider adjustment range of draw weight and draw length. If you are pretty much topped out growing wise, shop around used on craigslist and at any local shops that do used trade ins. You can get a flagship top of the line bow from a few years ago for pretty cheap.
