[QUOTE="Cannonball1, post: 5686432, member: 23767"] Your budget will help determine recommendations if you don’t mind telling us what that is. I recently bought my Nephew a Barnett at Academy for $250. It shoots 380 FPS and he can’t shoot at the same spot twice without coming close to hitting his other arrow. I use a TenPoint that cost ten times what the Barnett was and it shoots about 100 FPS faster. Both will kill a deer, the edge going to whoever made the better shot. My point is there is a wide price range on these bows and any decent brand will get the job done regardless of price. Excalibur, Ravin, Wicked Ridge, Mission and Killer Instinct were already mentioned. These are all good brands and I would consider any of them. If I only wanted to spend $250, I’m buying an entry model Barnett. If I want a premium bow and cost wasn’t a factor it would be TenPoint or Excalibur. For the $500 range, Killer Instinct would be my choice. [/QUOTE]
