There are some really nice options in that $500 range these days. I see no reason that they should be relegated as 'back ups' or 'kid bows' just because they are a good value. I shoot Hoyt's value bow, the Charger and find it to be a very high quality and accurate bow. I think many archers may be pleasantly surprised if they gave these bows an unbiased try.
I think they are talking kids bow because of the large DL and DW spand. Kids can grow with it. But it is good enough for most I bet.
