I am looking to purchase a traditional bow.

Used to shoot a compound years ago but it didn't sustain my interest over the long term. I only hunt with blackpowder rifles/shotguns so I really don't want a high tech bow with all the bells and whistles.

I will probably have about $400 to spend on the bow.

I am looking for recommendations about getting started, especially as far as which bows I should look into.

The ultimate goal is to buy a bow this winter and start hitting the practice range immediately, with the hope of being ready for deer season in the fall of 2006 (or 2007 if it takes that much practice).

Thanks in advance.
