Getting started.

[fal]

I'm just getting into archery and I found a used Hoyt Hunt Master TD (60#)for $175. Seems like a decent deal. I know that being new to this, this bow is a bit heavy for me. Any thoughts or comments?

I'm not familiar with the Hoyt bow but I am familiar with 60#bows and if I were you I'd look for something about 10# lighter.Your shoulder and back will thank you,your form will be alot easier to work into,and you'll be less likely to develop bad habits with a lighter bow.Check around-there's plenty of classifieds that have some really nice bows that I'm sure you'd be able to find something a little more "shootable" for a beginner.
I know quite a few shooters that shoot heavier bows very well but they've worked up to those poundages and they still string up a lighter bow for some up-close form work.
BTW,welcome to the forum!
