All depends. You are looking at spending anywhere between 200 bucks to a couple 1000. This topic is a tough to answer because trad shooting is a learn as you go thing, more so than a compound. All Ill suggest is to start light. Learn with a light bow, or you might find yourself developing a lot of bad habits. I would not go out and buy a hunting bow to start. Get a good light bow to learn with, then move up.
