RE: what to look for?
Mauser06,
I have only had one bow. There sure are alot more people on here that could steer you in the right direction. I would make sure that you have yourdraw length checked. Then check what your draw weight . Then try to find something in your price range that would compare with those specs. If you never have owned a bow before, I think the whisker biscuit is a good rest. Don't have to worry about arrow falling off the rest. Tru-glow sights seem to work good for me and not to expensive,and a peep sight.
Sometimes you can buy bows w/ all the accessories already on it. I would say if you can shoot a couple diff bows and find one you like. Get on here and let people know what you are looking at. They can probably dial ya in!
good luck!
