I like my Red Stag, it shoots well and the price was right.

You get what ya pay for.
With that said, it's my opinion that you get more bow for your buck, if you buy a used custom bow, than to buy a new bow that is cheaper quality.

I have not shot one but it looks like a nice bow.I don't see how you could go wrong with the price.In that price range I had rather have a new bow with warrenty and will take modern strings that a used one you might find in the same price range myself.I am typing on a keyboard and computer made god knows where so will stay out of all the but USA stuff.I like my Korean made arrows as well. :)

It's true, some things you have to buy foreign made. The problem is, the more we do it on stuff that can be bought American made, the more jobs we lose here. You save a few bucks now, but down the road when your job is outsourced overseas, those bucks won't seem such a great savings. Going to be hard to find folks to donate that can of soup or fruit pretty soon and a lot more folks in need of them.

Buying a used custom doesn't guarantee quality. You still need a bow you can shoot well, and that may be a $30.00 one or a $300.00 and up model.  There are lots of great used bows out there that will shoot with ANY bow made today.  Don't get hung-up on names and egos.  For example, for a hunting bow, I'm shooting a 1967 Shakespeare Necedah that I bought for $72.00...shipping and all.  The bow is a great shooter, smooth as can be, and cheap.  I also have a '66 Kodiak that I bought for less than $200.00 shipped...also a great bow and one that will definitely shoot with modern customs.  Look around and keep an open mind.  Arrows, are more important than the bow, as Rob mentioned.
