4. Quest Centec 579.99 - The mission of Quest has always been to design the best possible compound bow at an entry-level price, and with their parent company Prime behind them, they have done just that with the Quest Centec. At under 600 out the door, it certainly is a great option if you’re looking to save in this tight economy, and with a 32-inch axle-to-axle length and an arrow speed topping 325 fps, it offers far more than a budget-friendly price.
