If you want to spend under $2,000 you should consider a test drive of the Arcus M5 and T5, currently in stock. The playing and tonal characteristics are different, but so is each player’s ability. Trial is the only way to see if one will work for you.
Having worked with the Raven model for years now, the sound for the price makes, hardware quality, and no issues with rehairs makes this our entry level bow. Full-lined frog, metal tip plate. Used with a good-quality rosin, it performs mch better than expected for the price. Weight range in our experience is usually ~79 to 82 grams. Also a popular back-up bow for those “uh oh” moments.
