Eastwood, please don't get the super high performance bow, keep the equipment simple. Be sure the pro shop knows that you want a stable and forgiving bow! I've seen people come into tournament archery with the hottest bow on the market and by lunch time leave the shoot like a dog with its tail between its leggs, all because thy didn't have the nessesary expiriance. It didn't need to be that way. Before you get set up with all the cool accesories get a good understanding of shooting form, and the flight of an arrow. God bless.
