This isn't so much a recommendation as it is an "I bought one and haven't used it yet." Anyway, Academy Sports had a Bounty Hunter 11 on sale for $200.00 at Christmas, they are regularly $500.00. I don't know if they are still on sale or not, but from what I read about them they are good enough for someone who is just playing around with one.
ETA, just checked and they are still showing to be on sale.
