OD Bow Hunters...I beseech thee

My bow I used in HS broke(it was older then me). I'm now looking for new tools of destruction. Thoughts on Compound vs Crossbow, and what is a good one for the $500, college kid, price range?

Mathews, Hoyt, Elite, Strother, or G5 from eBay.

Don't listen to him, he's a Mathews snob. 
Look at Bear bows, you can get last years model brand new rigged on eBay for $100 cheaper than they were pretty regularly. Good deals IMHO. Brother bought a Bear Charge, I like it. I'd get the next model up, can't remember the name but mylsuhat has one. Sweet bow for the money.

You should be able to get a Mathews Switchback XT fully rigged off of EBAY in that price range. If you prefer new, check out the Mission line. If you go the EBAY route make sure you know your draw length. Some bows, including Mathews, are draw length specific and you have to replace the cam (around $50) to change the draw length.

If you want new, check out the PSE Stinger ready to shoot package. It's 400 bucks and you can spend the rest on arrows and and case. Im sure I'll catch some flak for having a small bow setup but I don't mind. It'll take a deer at 30 yards just like the rest and it's nice and maneuverable in the stand. If you outgrow it in a few years, you won't have invested too much and can get most of it back. I don't trust a used bow simply based on the chance it was ever dry fired (or dry loosed). Buddy had one snap apart on him due to this and that's a lot of force flying at ya.
