Default looking for cheap bowtech assassin bare bow

well after checking out a bunch of bows today i have come to the conclussion that i really want an assassin in black ops preferably but will also be fine with a camo version. i would like it right handed and 60lbs limbs. i looked at the carbon knight and carbon cure but the grip on them is way to bulky and blocky. the riser also seemed way to big and the bows just didnt feel right in my hand.

i have held and shot the assassin before and i kept over looking it for more expensive bows but am now thinking i passed up the perfect bow for me all along.

i dont need any accessories so bare bow is best.

does anyone have any positives or negatives about this bow?

i want a bow around 30" ata with 7+" brace height and 330fps ibo or more.

i will be using it for spot and stalk mule deer hunting mostly and hopefully som elk hunting.

let me know if you know of anyone selling one cheap or why i shouldnt be looking into this bow.

Positives: I got one

Negatives: You don't

I hope you find one though, great bow for the money. Balances very nicely in my hand.

Probably a few on Archery Talk.

If you like the bow, get the bow! I haven't shot one but from what I've read and heard and people say for the money they are great.
I think Calgary Archery Center had a couple the last time I was in there. Not sure of color or what limbs. And I think I saw a couple in Jimbow's about a month ago.
Good luck with your search.
