Don't be stuck on one brand, try to shoot several quality bows, like Excal, Parker and Ten Point, to decide which is best for you and which has the best trigger. The trigger has argueably the greatest impact on accuracy. The bow's size and balance may be important too. Excals tend to be bigger than compound bows for example, making them a bit less manuverable in a blind or tree stand. Get some quality carbon arrows in the size, weight, & type of nock recommended by the bow maker. Your arrows (bolts) should all match in weight and vanes size and your field tips should be the same weight as the broadheads. Carbon arrows are more forgiving when it comes to not bending. Onece an aluminum arrow is bent it's basically toast. Get the broadhead recommended by the bowmaker as well. Saller sized 4 bladed heads like Wasps, Slick Tricks, and Muzzy in 100 or 125 gr will do. A cocker rope is important to both make cocking easier and to load the string straight. The cocker rope should be shortened so that when one hook is on the string must be lifted 3-5" to fasten the other hook. That makes the cocking stroke shorter and less strenuous by decreasing the distance of pull with the elbows bent. It will also help you to cock a heavier pulling bows like the max, equinox or vortex much easier. Get a spare string, string wax and a quiver. I concur on the LumiZone scope. Best bow scope I've tried (they ride both my Terminator and Vortex). Then practice, practice, practice at various distances so you know the trajectory of you arrows. Surprising how many people think you can just pick up a bow and hunt. Estimating distance is critical to consistant hits. Ultimately you may want to invest in a ranging device to be sure how far it is to the target. Good luck.
