RE: Whats a good Bow
With that as your budget, your possibilities are pretty much endless. Find a pro shop, shoot every bow you can in that price range and choose the one that fits you best. Not everyone will agree on what brand but, everyone will agree, the one you like best is the one you should buy.

RE: Whats a good Bow
Ditto again. It pretty much only rules out the Alpha bows from the Big Names and even then you might be able to find a few of them at the end of the year on clearance in that price range.
However, I have become a big fan of the Diamond lineup of bows. They offer an excellent combination of speed and accuracy coupled with very low noise levels. In that price range and belowI think you could look at the Justice, Triumph, Rapture and possibly the Liberty in some places. Excellent quality levels at slightly lower prices.

Ditto to PABowhntr. The Diamond line-up is great. PSE has a number of very nice bows in that range and all the Fred Bear bows are right there. I shot the Bowtech Tomkat last fall and it was really nice and comes fully equipped in the price range you are looking at.

RE: Whats a good Bow
I would start with diamond and reflex bows. Maybe take a look at some mid priced PSE bows as well. You might want to look at bowtech, they may have a few bows in the 500 dollar range. However the daimond bows are made by bowtech and you might get a better bow for the money in that line up.
Darton is also a good bow company as well.
For 5-600 you really can't go wrong as long as the bow fits you and your needs. I honestly couldn't tell you what bows are out there for what prices though. I have not looked at new bows in a while. I do know that in my area finding a bow for 500 bucks from a pro shop might be a challenge. Most I have seen lately start around 600 for any of the new models. Even dartons are getting expensive.
I think bows today are way over priced, but hey if they can get it that is the way things work.
