Been thinking of a new compound bow, I would like to keep in under 300 bucks, which leads me into the used market. What would be your opinions on a good brand PSE, Mathews, ETC. Or maybe a cheaper but new Red Head Bass Pro type, I see them on sale for about the same price.TonyD

You won't get much for 300 bucks but there are deals out there. As said before, you really need to shoot a bunck of bows and see what feels best for you. A guy that likes to shoot Mathews may not like the feel of a Hoyt and they are both top notch bows. My first compound bow was a martin Panther and I payed under $300 for it, it shot good and I killed a few pigs and a goat with it but ended up trading up in a years time. Good luck, Ron

You get a lot of bang for the buck with the low end Bow Techs/Diamonds and they are excellent bows.

I just picked up a used Mathews Z7 with accessories for a good price but not as low as $300. Now is a good time to buy. Go with Mathews!

Martin makes a great bow and you can get a new one for $300.

Wait for bow seasons to close and check out ebay. I've bought two bows on ebay and got great deals. Complete set ups for a half the price.

I think the Red Head Kryptic is in that price range. I was told that they are made for Bass Pro Shop by Diamond, Which is basically a solocam Bowtech. When I was looking at a new bow I handled one and it felt like a decent bow. I know that about three were sold while I was making up my mind. In the end I went with the Bear but that was more because I was working a deal on some accessories if I bought the Bear.
