You will find some great used bows in that price range.  Have you checked the classifieds or are you only interested in new bows?  Welcome to Tradgang!

I would love to have a new bow but just for now I may go with a used bow. I am not really sure where to find the classifieds on the forum

Click on Forum Home, not main forums, and you will see the classifieds. You cant go wrong with a Quinn Stallion, have several my go to bows, shoot as hard , fast and smooth as bows costing $1000 and up. There is one in the classifieds for$225, with add ons, new ones are about$300 total including shipping. Pm me if I can be of any help at all.

I always recommend Bear Grizzley's from the 70s.  you can easilly get one on **** for ~100bucks.  Get one that states no twists, with lots of pics.  I promise you will not be dissapointed.

Look for the Older Bear Bows (kodiak & grizzly's). Nothing wrong with a bow even if it is 30+ years old as long as it is in decent shape.  Price range is usually around 125-250.  

I seen one on the classified's around 175 if i remember right just recently.

Its already been said, but your best bet is finding an older Bear in good shape.

Left or right handed? I have an older Browning Wasp recurve, but it's a lefty and 50# + camo dipped....
