What bow package???

Go to a few different Archery Shops in your area, tell them your budget, and they'll let you shoot several bows in your price range. Pick the one that feels the best TO YOU. Don't get caught up in any brand name wars. You should be able to find some darn nice equipment for that kind of money.

I agree with DonBo. I searched for mine, with a budget similar to yours, a few years ago. I ended up with a Forge and would buy another in a heartbeat. The dealer has been awesome and not a single problem with it in 4or 5 years of shooting and hunting. Smooth, quiet, not as fast as as some but fast enough for me, and it flat out gets the job done. start shooting and taking notes do as much research as you can and talk to the dealers. May be able to find a smokin deal on a used bow you like. Spring's comming and guys wanting the new bow on the market

I agree with Bear here, bows depreciate like cars. You can get a top of the line rig that's a few years old within your price range. There are a few really good classified sites that will keep you busy for hours.

I think the Bowtech/Diamond lineup has a RAK bow pkg available that's affordable as well. Nice looking rigs. Check out a proshop or two and you'll have a good idea of what's available.

Looking for a new bow package deal that would be under $800 after adding sights, rest, quiver etc. Looking for a smooth draw, low recoil, and easy to shoot bow. What would u all recommend????

Arent we all? That describes just about every bow out there. The only way to find something you like is to get to a couple pro shops and shoot the bows.

Check out used bows on the big auction site. They go very reasonable. Once you see what you may be interested in, check them out at a pro shop first to see if it fits you. Or go to a pro shop and see what you need for a bow.

My son sold a 2 year old Mathews with the best of everything on it with arrows and a case for $450.00. It was a $1,500.00 set up new and was still like new.

I sold a 5 year old Mathews all set up for $200.00 about 3-4 years ago.

Those deals are out there but it takes some looking.

I have shot the assassin and its amazing! For the price, you cannot beat it. Its short, light, fast, everything you need. It would be a great deal if it was just the bow, but for $600 you get everything ya need! Highly recommend it

I bought a new Diamond Stud (made by Bowtech) last summer for about 650 with all the accessories and I love it! I'm not a guy who chases the newest model every other year, and hadn't bought a new bow for about 10 years. This is a sweet rig, and if it's been awhile since you've upgraded, you're going to be amazed at the performance of any of the parallel limb bows.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
