RE: good cheap compound bow
Listen to ohiohunter...check eBay. A left-hander can steal a good used bow on eBay, and you'll probably be able to get it all tricked-out already (with a hardcase). Just make sure the seller has real good feedback (98%, or better). I prefer guys who are selling their own equipment, rather than dealers or "auction houses"...but that's just me! Also be sure of your drawlength...draw a friends bow to check the feel (butdon't waste a bow dealers time if you know your not gonna buy from him!). Good luck!
