Like compounds, there are many good quality bows made today and every shooter has their own favorite which works well for them. Overall, I agree with Andy1 that Martin offers a great bow for the money and suggest you take a look at their line (the Hunter is my favorite). There is a lot of information and used ones for sale on TradGang.com. Your post indicates you shoot a lot of competition archery, so give careful consideration to the draw weight you purchase.
