what is the best bow set up new or used at a good price...

 

[Blue Tick]

What are you looking for? That's where I would start first!

 

[Afree]

Hoyt turbohawk with middle of the road accesories IMO

 

[SaltLakeArcher]

For a used bow look in the AT classifieds, plenty of really good used bows with accessories on there for under $800.00

If you want new, in my opinion the best value (as stated above) is the Hoyt Turbohawk with whatever accessories you want to put on it.

i like mathews maybe a used dxt or drenalin

 

[RugerRedhawk]

Hoyt turbohawk $500 (after rebate)
Alpine soft loc quiver $50
whisker biscuit sure shot $75
hha optimizer lite $110
b-stinger $71

That's $806. Buy a half dozen gold tip arrows and you're at $840. Pretty close, if you buy just one or two of those items used you'll be under $800. And that's pretty much premium gear all around. You could easily get a $50 sight, a $20 stabilizer, a $40 basic biscuit, and trim $140 off of that total. You could also probably get a used QAD pro LD for the price of a new pro whisker biscuit. Really, with a quality bow selling for that price you can do just about whatever you want for accessories and stay in budget.

Take a look at the Pearson Z34 and TX4 :darkbeer:

 

[Atchison]

Start with a Quest for $500 and get $300 worth of good to top end equipment

Diamond Nitrous

Buy a brand new with warranty Diamond Nitrous for $399 and put the other $400 towards top quality accessories and arrows. You will not be disapointed with this bow. Do a search here on AT and read for yourself.

If I had the 800 to spare right now, this:

Agreed 100%. That's perfect for what he's looking for.

 

[Global Nomad]

Well, I just picked up a new Hoyt Turbohawk as well. I got the bow, sight, rest, cut arrows, peep sight, 1/2 dozen arrows and field tips all for under $800 including tax. Thats before the $50 mail in rebate!!

I would agree....best bow for the money I hear.....Or you can get you an Omen for $800 and put your own accs on and have a bad bow!!!!

Brute

Check out the PSE Brute. I got one and man was I impressed. Granted I'm no expert but when i took the first shot i was impressed. Not to mention the price. but the elite that is $800.00 rdy to go is pretty hard to pass. I say if you want new go Brude if used is what you want go Elite.

 

[ram6256]

best

Parker BlackHawk. usually used for 400-500. Hard to beat that for a 325 fps bow.

rytera alien x for me.


go shoot a bunch in your price range and the right one will jump right out

 

[Kss_Waylander]

New Bowmadness package for $719.99 or Bowmadness XS for 619.99.

 

[JeffB]

I think the best bang for the buck awards in "mid priced bows" goes to

Diamond Marquis/Nitrous
PSE Bow Madness series
Hoyt TurboHawk
Rytera Alien X


But if we are talking an entire setup for $800 thats tougher- because IMO skimping on the rest and arrows is dumb move- you are better off going with a bit less bow, than getting a higher priced bow and buying a cheap rest and marginal arrows. In that case I would probably go with something like the PSE Brute, Hoyt Powerhawk, Diamond Stud, or Martin MOAB and upgrade the string/cable along with getting a good quality rest, arrows, etc.
