I would talk to Marty at Apex Predator. He built me a beautiful Osage long bow that shoots better than some of my other customs. Plus, he's just a great guy to deal with.   :thumbsup:

Keep an open mind and keep your eyes on the classifieds. $ 500 can get a real nice bow from any number of custom bowyers. Take your time and decide what you want and you will find a good deal...if it don't work out put it on the classifieds and resell it. It happens all the time. Have fun in you quest for a bow......
