PSE bows are very good beginner bows but if i were you i would go out and shoot this bow and see if it feels right that is the only real way to see if it is a "good bow"

Research the forums, talk to your friends, and visit the shops. Just make sure you buy from someone who knows a thing or two.

Check out the Bear Archery "ShowDown" package. I justy bought this at Cabelas last week for $399/package deal. The only thing I didn't like was the stabilizer but they were quick to change it out for me at no extra costs. Finall had a chance to get out and sight it in today and it shoots great. I'm very happy with it. Heres a link for you.

The new bear bows are nice and affordable. I would go with buying a bow by itself. It with cost more but you will get exactly what you want.

How old are you? if you are a adult then you should buy whatever feels good. Everyone will have their opinions but a good archer can shoot lights out with whatever you put in his hand. (compound bow that is, recurves are a whole other story) If your a youth or a lady, PSE makes a good beginner bow, mathews makes the mustang. My fiance is 5' and 115 pounds, she shoots a browning micro adrenline. it has 50# limbs and really shoots good for a pretty cheap price. If you have never hunted before i would buy a package. that way if you decide you really dont enjoy it that much then you are only out 2 or 3 hundred dollars. If you buy it all seperate and get good equipment it can get expensive. For example, her bow was $249 for the entire package minus the arrows. I have a mathews switchback with a doinker stabilizer, schaffer rest, Trophy ridge sight, epic arrows, and a little goose release and all together it runs about $1100. hope this helps

shoot as many bows as you can and feel which one feels the best! Go into a local bow shop or even a dicks sporting goods or something and tell them your scenario, how much you want to spend, etc. and they'll hook you up
