Budget $700

2. Quiet
3. Looks

Anybody have suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I too am looking for a new bow. I have a Martin Hatfield takedown with 30 and 45# limbs, and would like to find some 50 or 55# limbs for it, but have not had much luck finding them. The 50 or 55# would be wanted for a future elk hunt, since the states I'm looking to hunt in have a 50# minimum for elk. If I can't find these limbs, I was thinking of a Martin Hunter or a Bear Super Kodiak with both having a 55# draw. I have a 30 1/2" draw, so which which do you folks think would have less stacking?
