For bows that won't break the bank, centerpoint is hard to beat. You can change the string without any real tools. I just use an arrow shaft to lock the cam in place. They have a 5 year warranty.

With the barnett bows - unless you're near the top, the quality is pretty low. The centerpoint bows are nice quality and low priced. I have a patriot 415 that is fast, quiet and insanely accurate. Almost as quiet as my reverse limb barnett vengeance and a little faster. 2-3" groups at 100 yards are the norm for the fast centerpoint bows. My barnett vengeance will only shoot into about 5" at 100 yards. The scopes that come on all but the top tier bows are generally junk regardless of the brand.

Another vote per looking at wyverncreations.com
I will be going through him when I order my Excalibur in the next few weeks
He offers scope upgrades on numerous bows and is a wealth of inforation

Barnett Vengeance reverse limb in black and carbon fiber. Actually quite small and blazing fast a few years ago when I bought it.

Same weight - a little bigger - 20 fps faster and more accurate. If you're willing to learn how they work and what changes affect them how, you can modify them to be a little faster still. My centerpoint claims 415 but in reality shoots 385-387. I haven't bothered to mod it out of sheer laziness but a person who knew what they were doing could get another 15 fps out of it with no additional cost.

Do any of these bows have de-cocking or do you have to shoot it to unload it?

Tenpoint has a decocking. I usually just shoot mine in ground with field point. No biggy

Well my dad bought a killer instinct boss 405 and it’s pretty impressive for the price. Smooth trigger pull adjustable stock and fore grip. Thing is driving tacks right out of the box. Can’t say anything bad about it yet. I will most likely get me one.

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I had just enough time after I put it together to fire a couple of bolts. One thing, at 220 lb pull it takes about all this old man can do to cock it. This first time
it got away from me before it latched in and I busted my ass. I'm thinking it will give me about 20 more yards of kill range than I had with my PSE Fang.
