ORIGINAL: Rookie Bowhunter
Thank you all for all the great advise! You're right, I need to take my time and research much more...is just that some times you just want to try new things like...right now!

But you guys are right, I should not rush...
Regarding the lead bullets in CA...you are required to remove the lead bullets from your kill as well as the tissue impacted...it's a pain, but this is just required if you're in Condor range...now for waterfowl...you just cannot use lead...
I kind of like the TC Triumph...looks so pretty!!

and the Remington Genessis seems to have nice features...but since I can only use open.peep sights I might just look into a more tradicional style...
ohh! And yes I still use my 1st bow!...but not for long!! [8D]
You got time, November is hunting season. Right now it is effectively May, so may and june do reading on the web and visiting 2 or 3 gun shops. Listen to their what the have to say, feel the guns develop a "short list of guns" then ask on this forum what people think of them. buy the gun in June. research loads and bullets in June/July. Start target shooting July, Aug Sept searching for best bullet and load for the gun (it takes a while). Hunt bow in Oct, very little shooting, I know I hunt bow also. Hunt ML in Nov, hunt CF opening day only. Hunt ML reset of time.
Best wishes on yourgun selection. Chap Gleason
