The cost of buying a bow at a local pro shop over going to ebay is well worth it. They can help you get exactly what you need, show you how toshoot with good formand about a million other things you will need. Also if you have any problems with the bow or just questions they are right there to answer them. Those things are priceless when you are pulling your hair out because you can't shoot a good arrow. In my opinion the little extra up front will go a long way in the long run, it may save you from getting frustrated with the bow and giving up archery all together.
