RE: Which bow, lol Need help from Ya'll.
i have the pse nova, and its definitley the bow to get if your just starting out, or are a kid, it has insane adjustments, and i can group 4 arrows withing 5 inches of each other from 50 yards with a WB on. Its a bit noisy, but sims products fix it up. i highly recommend it for just starting out, you cant go wrong for the price!
EDIT: plus my uncle has a matthews switch back, and i can group better than him with it, and that makes him really mad because he payed about 300 more bucks than me, and has been hunting for 20 more years than me, and i dont even have the best shot in the world.
also its on sale at cabelas right now for only $229!

Rob.
For a beginner I would have to suggest either the Reflex or the Nova, with the Nova probably being the better choice because of the brace and the longer ATA specially for a beginner he will be able to hold it a little more steadyier than a short ATA bow.
Just my thoughts of course

I voted the Excursion, for a few reasons. It's got a good mix of a generous brace height, good ATA and good speed. Yeah, the Nova has a longer ATA, but unless he's gonna shoot fingers, it's almost too long, IMO...and slower. I will admit I don't have any experience w/ the Nova, but I do w/ the Excursion. Man alive, is that an awesome bow, especially for the money.
I am not a fan of Parker. We USED to see them at our shop, but we had so many problems w/ the bows themselves and the customer service that we said screw it. And Bear....well....I just don't really have anything good to say about them either. We see quite a few of those at the shop as well, and they are not only a PITA to work on, but they are made.....well.......cheap. Just my .02.

I'd go with the Reflex as well. A buddy of mine who is a very experienced shooter/bowhunter bought a new lesser priced Reflex(forgot the model) just to hunt with. He loves it!

Rob im leaning toward the reflex to, i know some people who have one and have nothing bad to say about it. My son used to have a pse nova-ac that had the arson cam and it was a great bow. He would still have it but it got torched in a home fire.
