Everyone at some point is a newbie. Some suggestions by me, even if not approved by everyone.
Whether it is hunting, fishing, or archery, every user has a financial limit, especially a newbie. Fit it to your needs. Not everyone buys top line. And some become very good at the various practices, and not use top line. I still have sporting products that are still usable, even after four, ten, fifteen, more that twenty years. And few of them are top of the line. A little maintenance and care went a long way.
From my sport selling experience I knew only a smaller percentage bought the high end. Most bought in the beginning or intermediate product line. And on budgets I can remember clearly the common refrain, " Now, I have to go sneak this (the new sporting product) past my wife !!!"
Years ago, I was getting back into archery and bought a new bow, at one of the low prices and discounted. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, because I wasn't sure my old shoulder injury would hold up.
The bow still shot straight and harvested a deer. Years later, it still shoots, though slower than the "modern" archery compound bows. But it sits, with a little practice, as my backup bow.
Not everyone is or wants to be, a -top of the product line- kind of outdoorsman.
