Welcome to bowhunting!!!!
Ive bein hunting with a bow now for 12 years and never had a new bow. Infact only two bows in the 12 rears. The second bow I bought a year ago and it was a 2000 Martin Jaguar in like new condition, $200 bucks with accesories. Love it.
What Im trying to say is you dont have to buy a 600 to 800 dollar bow to put meat on the table. If I could , I'd like to have a Hoyt, Mathews, or High end bow but its never reen an option.
Martin and Fred Bear seem to make some great bows in the lower to mid range price zone. And a great coment is " Get high quality accesories"" , Cause its garuanteed youll want to upgrade them if you dont
Anyways good luck.
P.S. My friend shoots deer and goats like a champ with his 1988 High Country .
