RE: bows
This is my first year bowhunting and I went to the local shop (The Bow Shop) in Gulfport, Mississippi and shot a few bows. I ended up buying the PSE Triton. It felt better shooting in my hand. The others felt like it was too much work and all the technology I wasn't comfortable with. The guys there were great and the key is to get a good knowledgable person to help you choose. Do not let them talk you into buying something they think is good for you. Only you know what is good and comfortable for you.
