RE: What would you do?
I agree w/ 5 shot. I just got my first bow & thankfully bought from a shop (Fin Fur Feather in Ashland, Oh.). I considered the internet, but changed my mind. They set everything up for me & spent over an hour explaining & helping pick out the correct accessories to go w/ my new bow. Having little experience, this is invaluable. They also have a range & took me to shoot the bow & help w/ proper form. I'd say especially for a beginner this is the only way to go. BTW I got a Bear Vapor 300 w/carbon arrows & love it.
