Darin,

I suggest you find a friend that knows about bows 1st. You need to have a bow that meets your draw length. Also, make sure you are not overbowed (too much poundage). Are you shooting fingers? Some bows are not conducive to finger shooters because of finger pinch. There are some good deals on e-bay, but make sure the bow fits you, and not you fitting to the bow. Good luck.
