RE: new to bowhunting
i agree with the others on that you should shoota few to see what feel right to you. they have given you very good advice. the only other thing i can say is that since you are fairly new, you might check out some of the Diamond bows. they are very good and if you don't have the cash flow to get one of the all mightly three, these will save you some green backs.
good luck with the sport...
