It sounds to me like you're looking for advice on buying a new bow. If that is the case, and you are trying to stay within a budget, I'd consider buying one of the package deals from PSE or something like that. You can get a good starter bow package for around $200 that comes with almost everything you need. If you can spend a bit more and know you're going to really be serious about bow hunting, I'd go with a better quality set up. I just bought a Hoyt UltraMag and I love it. It's not the top of the line Hoyt, but it's a great bow. Have your bow shop or someone that knows what they're doing help you get it set up and tuned. I've only been bow hunting for two years and I just bought the Hoyt this year. I really like it. It's very forgiving, fast and quiet. I'm almost considering giving up on rifle hunting because I enjoy the thrill of bow hunting so much.
