as a starting archer, you need to remember that if you use lower priced equipment, you will get, "lower priced" results. when i started shooting, i bought my arrows a few at at time and set money back for my "higher priced" equipment. it will take you a little time to get everything you need, but you will have better equipment doing it that way. the important thing is that you have a good time and be safe while you are out shooting.
