I agree with kc bowhunter. I haven' t seen anyone make it past a year with a " starter bow" . Most friends have sold those type bows after a short period of time for a big loss. If you become a fanatic, I say shoot as many bows as you can,visit all the local pro-shops, read this forum, and read every magazine you can . Make your decision after that !! Best of luck .....your in for a lot of frustration and a whole lot of fun !!!!!
