I would wait also...but if I had to pick now it would be the elite Gt 500. I already have the Gto and love it.

I'd likely do the same thing if your looking for $800 to cover all the accessories too.

Two bows that I think are at the top of the list for hunting specific bows........07+ Allegiance, and 07+ Guardian. I really think these are Bowtech's best pair of hunting specific bows.

Check out a Forge Smoke if you are close to Wisconsin.
