RE: Buying my first bow. Ideas?
Look, everybody is going to recommend what they personally shoot and a few morons will bash other brands guaranteed. Any bow from the mid priced Bears, Diamonds, Reflexs and PSE will do the job and any of the top 3 being Bowtech, MAthews and Hoyt will shoot better than you ever will. You just need to try different ones and pick the one that feels best when you shoot it. And no, you don't have to spend $800.00 on a bare bow for it to kill a deer. If you buy used you can get great deals but if you buy new, you get a lifetime warranty.
