There are many different Compound bows on the market today.
You can spend anywhere from $100 to $700 for a good hunting bow. The bow I use now cost me about $400 and is 3 years old. It is a short bow,31” axel to axel. That is one of the things I really like about it.
I was shooting a 10 year old model when I finally decided to upgrade. Talk about a night and day difference. If you are shooting any thing more then 7 years old, do yourself a favor and upgrade this year, this summer in fact, so you have plenty of time to practice.
It is fun to shoot when you can hit the bull’s eye from 50 yards and beyond. I have started practicing past 40 yards, and after you can hit the target with ease from that distance, the 20 yard shots seem like they are so easy.
New Bows by Red Head, PSE, Diamond, Browning, Fred Bear, Martin, Parker, and Reflex are out now!!!, Follow the link to Hunting/ Archery/Bows at Basspro.com

Diamond Archery
The Diamond IceMan cometh. And with it comes deadly quiet, vibration-damping Center Pivot riser technology. The Ice Man’s single-piece riser begins as a 29 3/4" piece of durably forged aluminum. The forging process retains the structural integrity of the aluminum at a molecular level. The resulting strength and stiffness not only ensures precision, but enables us to remove more material during the machining process for a sleek, skeletal and lightweight riser. Single-piece riser design combines with our Zero Tolerance Assembly process to guarantee consistent shot placement shot after shot. The unique carbon shaft string supressor is directly in line with the stabilizer bushing to transfer vibration away from your hand. Our unique single rotating mod enables draw length adjustment over a seven-inch range in half inch increments, providing a custom fit to your specification, then allows you to pass the bow on to different sized friends or family as you bring them into the amazing world of bowhunting with a Diamond.
