RE: what kinda bow should i get
Go to reputable pro shop that carries most all of the top names in bow manufacturers.
From there you need to determine a few personal bits of information. Like price range, what you want to do with the bow, and your specific measurements.
The first thing you have to decide is if you are going to hunt with the bow, do a little bit of hunting and 3-D/Indoor targetshooting, or just strictly3-D/Indoor target shooting. Many bows can be used for both, but if you are looking at either one of the extreme ends of the spectrum, I would suggest you look into thespecific qualities that makebows either better suited for hunting vs. better suited for target.
If you want to do more hunting with the bow and you are looking into the top price ranges, you will find Mathews, Hoyt, and BowTech on that list. From there you have to shoot them and make a decision based on feel. This is where a good pro shops comes in. Try to find a dealer that carries all of these manufacturers. This way you can decide based on feel, not just what bow they push. You can expect to pay anywhere from $600-800 on the top bow from Mathews (Switchback), Hoyt (Trykon), and BowTech (Tribute/Allegiance).
If you want a little less pricey bow, look into Diamond bows (made by BowTech), Reflex bows(made by Hoyt),PSE, AR,Martin, Browning, etc.
The Diamond bows and Reflex bows aremuch like their higher end siblings, but usually carry less technology in componentsor last years technology, along with a lighter price tag. Easier on the wallet. Which savesroom for add ons and accessories.
If you are a younger archer (I am making an assumption) you may still be growing. If so, you might look into a module(s) (cam(s)) that has a wide range of drawlength adjustment. This way as you grow, the bow can continually fit you.
The pro shop should fit you for a proper poundage. If possible, try to have him set it up on the lighter side for now. Then you can also increase the poundage later. A decreased poundage bow will give you much more time to practice in the off season, to develop your form, muscle memory, and even give you the opportunity to practice longer. Then, as you get stronger you can always increase the poundage.
There is probably alot of things I have missed, but I wanted to give you a little insight into buying a bow.
In the end, don't tie your hands behind your back and do what I did, I got locked into a bow too fast. Even though I am happy with the bow, I didn't really try out anything else.
Look around, visit different pro shops and then decide which one deserves your business.
Finding a good pro shopis as valuable as finding the best feeling bow in your hands.
