Welcome to a life changing experience blaze. The best advice i can offer is go to your local pro shop. Get measured and listen to their advice. Getting fitted into your first bow is the first step. There are too many options to even go into. Get a bow and arrows to fit, practice hard and have fun.

Best time of the year to start looking. I would go to one of the winter shows so that you can shoot bowtech, hoyt, mathews, pse, etc. You will know which one you like. My only advice would be to pick a long axle to axle if you have a long draw.
