    I'm just getting into now hunting and was wondering what advice people can offer. I was also looking for a couple recommendations for bows I should look into and try.

    How much are you willing to spend on a bow?

    I wanted to stay around 500 or so maximum. But I've also been looking at the pse DNA smooth pull.

    Take a look at the Mission line by Mathews or a Bowtech Assassin

    These are two great options; the assassin usually comes as a package too. The Mission Riot or Ballistic would be another set of really good options for the money. You will have to find your nearest bow shop and shoot them; preferably a Scheels if you have one.
