ryncam,
Not all places charge extra for left handed bows. The local shop carries 6 or 7 with at least one or two in each price range. No extra charge for lefties. I would check out some of the larger local shops to see what they have in stock. The mid-priced Fred Bear, Jennings bows might fit the bill along with a whisker biscuit.

I got my left handed 04 model #70 Fred Bear Vapor on ebay. Complete package brand new, setup and shipped for about $280. Altho I did add some extras (diff. sight, stabalizer,sims...etc)and bought some Easton Axis carbon arrows to make it alittle more expensive. In all I only have around 450 to 500 dollars in my entire setup thanks to ebay. I've bow hunted many years and am very impressed with this setups performance.

Try eBay. You can usually get a really nice bow already set-up with extras for that kind of money. You should even be able to get a Mathews. I saw a couple on there yesterday that were left hand models and some were only a year or two old.

Ebay definitely is a good place to look for bows. I have found that typically in November and December you can get some good deals on barely used bows. All the bow-buying-aholics are getting rid of their 2005 models to have money to pay for the 2006s.
