Default New to this, help.

So I have an opportunity to upgrade my bow. I have a fairly large budget, I dont not hunt with my bow yet, but would like to. So I can choose PSE, Mathews, Bowtech, I have a guy I know blowing out some stock, which one and why,
1) Mathews, Monster
2) PSE, Dream Season
3) Bowtech, Elite GT 500
I have really not spent much time with my bow, but this is great time for me to get a great bow for a very good price.
Thanks.

doesn't matter which one you choose, they are all good bows. which ever one feels the best to you is the one you want. i would see if i could try them out, if not spend a little time with them, holding, drawing etc. good luck on your new purchase!

I'll skip the generics and say go with the Elite. Smooth bow and from what I hear great support from company.

Spent some time at SHPK Archery with my new young friend, He was great and very knowledgable. I shot 5 bows all adjusted to around 60lbs, with Hoyt Maxxis my favorite. Draw langth 28.5, axle to axle 31". I really like this bow however they had no PSE in stock to shoot. I was also told that all the new bows come out in November and if I am buying a high end bow i should wait to see the new lines. Any opinions?
Thanks.

You being a fairly new shooter i would forget the monster. Good bow just not enough brace height .
Other then that take your choice.

Go with the Elite GT500. They shoot great and there warranty is the best in the business. You won't be disappointed in that bow, I promise you that.

id say keep looking youll know when you find the one that fits YOU. being a new shooter try as many as possible and dont rule one out untill you try it. Oh Ya! APA Innovations out of Sask. makes awesome bows at very resonable prices too.
