Looking at buying a new Bow for next season.

I dropped by Bowie Outfitters last night and tried out a few Bows and found I liked the PSE Octane alot. It was within my price range of $400 to $500 and felt comfortable with it.

I noticed when I shot it there was some hand vibration. Of course this was shooting a bow that had nothing but an arrow rest on it so some vibrations were to be expected. After talking with my father I was told that happens with bows that have a brace height less than 8 inches.

I was curious if anyone had any other suggestions of bows in that price range? Does not have to be a fully outfitted rig as I have sights, rest and the other equipment lined up for one.

Thanks
