L.H. Custom bow, my good friend Lester makes that and they are just sweet.

For 100 more I would get a Big Jim Thunder Child.

Big Jim, Thunderstick, Mowhawk, Liberty, Kanati, Thunderhorn Coupstick, Toelke Plenty Coup, Big River, Bama, Stewart Slammer. All great bows you could pick up new for right around your price range. Remember that form follows function so whatever you get as a first bow doesn't have to sport premium wood vaneers and horn overlays which come with a higher price. My favorite hunting bow at the moment sports black glass limbs both back and belly.

I've yet to try one, but those Big River bows are on my got to try list and they are $500.00 with a 5 week wait time last I checked.

Best of luck on your journey

Unless you are buying used, $500 is only a down payment for the top names.....

I think I would save a bit more and get myself a a Brand spanking new Red Wing Hunter.

JamesKerr · « **Reply #89 on:** May 19, 2012, 04:27:00 PM »

I would either get a new Mohawk or a used Tomahawk.

Mentioned a few times here, Predator Hunter from Hunters Niche. Goes fot $585 new tyd.. Nice bow great shooter. I had them make me an old school version with a solid Bubinga riser. Or check out the classifieds a used Predator Classic nice woods should go for $550ish.

I bought my favorite bow, a used Griffin longbow, right here in the classifieds. Saved me a couple hundred bucks and a few years of waiting.

Little bit more money and I would have a Dave Johnson longbow, or another nate steen sunset hill, of course Craig makes a great bow at howard hill archery

I'm not telling....lol Mainly because I don't know what I don't know...yet!

There are a few "Hill styles" that I just love and love to shoot but I am always watching for a good used one that I can pick up just to see if it makes enough of an impression to have one built for me.

I'm talking "Hill style" that I haven't ever had the chance to shoot.

God bless,Mudd

I'd buy another Wallace Mountain about 5 pounds heavier.

Half interest in an ACS CX one piece.

What's is good here with 25Ks members you'll have that many answers.LOL.
But buying on the classified will aloud you to resell for the same price the bow that will not fit you.

Sam McMichael · « **Reply #98 on:** May 20, 2012, 11:51:00 AM »

I would put it toward a Howard Hill Redman.

TRB · « **Reply #99 on:** May 20, 2012, 06:44:00 PM »

I would get a Beeler Tracker. Mine should be ready sometime in Aug.
