Have a look at BamaBows Hunter.  That's a nice new one in your price range.

You might also want to take a look at the classifieds as well.  Maybe you could pick up a used Hill or something.

+1 and you get a lot of custom options for the money. Nate's a great guy.

They are well worth looking into.

Two Tracks or New Wood Archery will fit the bill for deep cored and flater style longbows.

Classifieds!!!!!!!!!

Just last week an extremely nice Mohawk T/D was posted for $425(Great buy!). Have seen single piece Mohawks recently that were cheaper.

Have seen Montana's down to $175 - $200.

Exude a little patience and the classified's will produce.

I believe Mohawks are one of the best values and best bows on the market.

There are a few great Hill-style bows out there.  I have a HHill.

For more of a flatbow you should check out Apex Predator.  

Marty makes a popular bow called the Cumberland.  A handsome string follow.

His bows come highly recommended.

I have a Martin "stick",(D-shaped bow) shoots good, very quiet bow, lightest bow I've ever held.  It's what I learned to shoot trad with. Been thinking of parting with it, just do not use it anymore since I've bought a few more bows.  Other than this one bow I haven't any experience with D-shape bows.

Take a look at the different models from Northern Mist.  Might be a bit above $400, but Steve Turey makes a great bow.

I bought a Greatree Solo Black longbow from 3Rivers recently and am blown away with the bow! I got it to use as a cheap "beater" for stumping and hunting groundhogs, etc. But it quickly has been upgraded to one of my better bows I ever owned.

My custom recurve is getting dusty since I got this bow. I shoot it really well and can't find a thing wrong with it.

3Rivers has them on sale right now for $144.

Big River flatbow or D shaped longbow, John McDonald he does not have a web site. They are great bows.

Yellowstone Bows, Rich also makes a great bow at a very good price. He does have a web site.
