I'm looking for a bow with a 25-26 DL, thats more quiet than fast but still has some speed and I'm am looking to stay under $300. I've got a reflex grizzly its quiet but I'd like it to be a bit more quiet. The problem with the grizzly is the DL only goes as low as 27 inches. Which with my release is too long. I've decided to go to a pro shop and get it done right this time. I'm just looking from you guys, oppinions about which/what kind to get.

Things I'm looking for are
(1) Around 300 dollars. BTW I've already got all the sights and arrow rest, dampeners etc. Just a plain bone stock with nothin on it bow. I'll have the shop put all my other stuff on.
(1a) Quietness
(2) Speed
(3) split limbs

Your probably not going to find anything you'll like for under $300(new).
Fread Bear has the Element and Instinct, which are parallel limb split limb bows. They are very nice bows for the money, but not any faster than what you have(not sure off hand what DL they go down to either.)
Parkers Micro Phoenix is probably the top short draw bow out there under $425. It is super smooth and quiet, and faster than most short draw bows.

If you could somehow find a used Micro Phoenix, or maybe a used Hoyt Rintec, you'd get better quality than any new bows out there for under $300.

DL range for Fred Bear Instinct is 26" to 31". Fred Bear Code is the same DL range. Nice bows for the price.

Throw in an extra $100.00 and get the new 2007 Martin Bengal.

Go look at it. There are several threads here on it.

Take a look at a PSE Spyder Rimfire. It has everything but the split limbs...
