I would definitely go to a Pro Shop instead of bass pro or cabelas, ive never had good luck at those large chain stores. Alot of time those guys are just looking to sell a bow and dont know much about setting up a bow, or helping out a new guy.But yes, you have to shoot them and be properly measured for your draw length,peep site, etc... Talk to some locals around your area and find the best Pro shop around you, and go check it out.
