Default Looking for a new bow.

My bow still out shoots me... but it isn't my bows fault... I just don't practice enough!

Still... I would like a new bow. I would prefer one under $500 and I have been looking at the Bear - Home Wrecker. Anyone own this bow or have a better suggestion? (my current bow is a PSE from 1988)

Go to a pro shop and shoot a couple, sometimes its worth spending an extra coupla bucks to get what you need and want that will last.
