I highly recommend this bow for the beginning bowhunter. These bows are usually not too much money, which is another positive. There are some that are probably more, but most are in this range. Almost every bow company makes a bow like this. Split Limbs are a new thing with bows since last year.
Advantages are that they make the bow a little bit lighter and usually quiet the bow.
A disadvantage is that they are more expensive. If you like the looks and you have the extra money buy them. Hoyt and High Country started the split limbs. Now Browning and Jennings also have them. There are a lot of choices when choosing a bow.
