Novice archers won't have a hard time drawing this bow back and can definitely be your go-to hunting bow. The only setback this bow has is the fit and finish.

The string and loop material can be unreliable because it is prone to splitting. It comes in three different colors –purple blaze, black, and mossy oak break-up country camel.

Bowtech Fuel

The Bowtech Fuel has a suggested retail price of about $500. It has a draw length ranging from 18-30 inches and has a draw weight of 14-70 pounds.

It has the accessories every new archer needs. The package comprises a camel quiver and a full containment rest.

This bow is easy to pull back and once you're in full draw it feels feathery light to hold. Although there are a few minor setbacks. the string and loop material is not that durable. It has a rated speed of 320 feet per second IBO.

PSE Stinger X

For $450 dollars, you can get one of these PSE Stinger X. It comes with a whisker biscuit rest that is easy to adjust, three-pin sight, and five-era quivers.

The draw cycle for this solo cam bow is firm. Once at full draw, it feels that the touch is jumpy if you not are pulling strongly into the wall.

It can be difficult to hold at full draw for long stretches of time. But the finish of this bow is impressive. It comes in 5 different colors. It has a rated speed of 308 feet per second IBO.

The Quest Forge is the second most expensive bow on this list. You can get it for $530. It has the best accessories from all the bows on this list.

The individual pins on its sight move very fluidly and it also comes with a light. The G5 headlock quiver is crafted well and looks perfect with a matching camel. It has a solid G5 full containment rest.

This bow has a smooth draw and it is comfortable to hold for an extended period of time which is a good leverage in hunting. The fit and finish of this bow are exceptional considering its price range.

Bear Threat

At $600, the Bear Threat is the most expensive bow on this list. And with a price like that, the accessories in this bow are absolutely great. It has a whisker biscuit rest that is easy to adjust. The sight pins are very easy to position and the sight comes with a light.

It also comes with an excellent trophy ridge quiver. Drawing this bow is a bit harder as compared to the other bows on this list but definitely the fastest. At full draw, you may need to exert more energy but you'll have good groups once you get used to it.

The fit and finish of the Bear Threat is nothing but impressive. A flat black bow matched with an orange and red bow string caught my eyes.

For me, the combination is perfect –the whole nine yards. Plus, this is also the fastest bow on this list with a rated speed of 330 feet per second IBO.
