BobCo19-65 I found out long ago if you're going to take up a new sport, get good equipment.
I just started golf and 1970's blades and a 1980 wooden handled driver didn't get it done. I bought $400 worth of Callaway X-14 irons, a set of Cleveland woods and a Callaway driver and am MUCH happier with the results I get with the better equipment.
Not only that, I can resell all this stuff for what I have in it.
A used Chek-Mate II or something would certainly be a nice bow. Theres a firebird on the dolores board, but other than that I didn't see one.
I highly suggest good deal, used bows, something you can get your money out of later.
Just my opinion.
And if I fail at my new sport with good equipment ? I know it wasn't the equipment that failed me
