Best Bow $350-$450

I'm looking to buy a good bow for no more than about $450. Does anyone have any recommendations for what would be the best option in that price range?

You are in an inbetween price range there. I
would either get a bow from Ken Smith or maybe
check out the new pernambuco bows of Bob Gollihur.

Better yet, save your pennies and get up into the
1000+ range, gives you more options.

Still, feedback on Ken's bows have been very positive,
if I needed another bow and wanted it to be economical
that would be my starting place.

Good luck,

Very happy customer with a new C. Loveri bow.

$460 I believe.

Call there and you'll get to talk to Ken about it personally.

Two new carbon composite bows are fantastic for the money.
I have sold both and use one myself daily. They are the Christopher and the Ophelia sold through the Shen distributer.
You can't go wrong with either.
