As the title says I'm completely new to Bow Hunting. I've been researching on which bow to purchase for the last 2 months or so.
After reading/watching several reviews on various brands I'd like to purchase a Quest G5 Rogue "New 2012 with lifetime warranty for $289 shipped on Ebay", but I'm open for any & all suggestions.
My budget is around $500 for a complete setup.

I would suggest shooting whatever bow you choose before you buy it.

I suggest going to an archey pro shop and let them determine your draw lenght. Shoot several brands before you decide. A bow is like a pair of shoes, if it doesnt fit you you will not be comfortable with it.Buying your first bow from evay is not a good idea. just my opinion.

After much debate  I've decided to make a trip to BassPro tomorrow evening & try several different bows. Any suggestions on which bows I should shoot that will be within my $500 budget?

Very much so. I'm a new bow hunter this year as well. I went to Grabow based on multiple recommendations, and they were incredibly helpful and patient with me picking out a bow and getting it all set up.

James and Randy at Grabows will hook you up. You can shoot a New Breed, Hoyt, and an Elite. Plus whatever is hanging on the used rack.
