Go visit some local shops and take a look at any new old stock options. They will probably have something that meets your needs quite well if you're not really picky.
Along the same lines as this thread: I finally upgraded this year and wanted to get something really nice without breaking the bank. Ended up finding a new old stock flagship Hoyt that originally MSRP'd for over 1k. Walked out with it fully set up with a QAD drop away, quiver, a dozen arrows, new release, new sight, tune, more broad heads, and another target for under 1k. A fully set up flagship bow for about $750 lets me care a lot less about whether it is this year's flagship or a few years old.
FWIW, the equivalent new flagship bow would have cost at least $1k more all in with performance that is virtually identical.
