Yep, follow what bloodcreek told ya.

The best thing for a beginning in archery to do it to find a good pro shop. Sometimes it is hard to find a good shop. Often they are few and far between.

If you do find a shop and feel they might just be trying to sell you something or fix things you're unsure of, by all means, come back here to get secondary opinions before you jump into anything.

Just a few tips. I got burned early on and it really fires me up when people take advantage of newcomers to the world of archery.

Other than that, hang on to your hat. Bowhunting will take you by storm. It is addicting.

Good luck with practice and don't hesistate to bring questions to the forums.
