I ended up buying a new old stock now, so 3yr old model but brand new for a big discount and it worked out well for me, that quality of bow was out of budget but being old stock it was in budget, best of both worlds lol. Maybe it wasn't the newest fanciest most whiz bang bow, but at this stage it's not a big enough difference. Accessory wise Lawrence at accurate archery was awesome, sold me one of his old sights and whisker biscuits super cheap to get me going, and I upgraded later on. Welcome to the addiction it's a ton of fun!

Smoked has some great advice about getting a new-old bow (unused older stock)
For instance, my Hoyt Carbon Element is now 9 years old and will take anything in North America and outshoots me everyday of the week. Still shoots bullet holes and if in better hands, would revile any current bow (in my opinion)
Look at the used bow rack at Calgary Archery Centre, or ask Jim-Bows if they have any quality bows on consignment.
