First things first, go back to those archery shops and have them size you up. Then shoot a few different brands and styles of bows. What works and feels good to me or someone else might not feel good to you, so get something that you feel comfortable with. Then once you get that done and you find one that you like and falls into your budget, have them cut and fletch your arrows to fit the bowand accessorize accordingly. Practice a lot but not all at once, 20-30 minutes once or twice a day shouldwork good. Most of all, have fun and good luck hunting with it. Everyone here has a passion for itand that is why we are here.
