Ian - I'd buy a used bow off EBAY (I've bought a lot of them BTW and off Tradgang.com too) ( you can always get close to your money back on it ) - get a nice Grizzly if you like. Get a 45# or sobow, some carbons. Weight of bow, draw weight, field point weight etc will determine what carbons to buy, but a 5575 Gold Tip or ICS 400/500 shaft will liekly work.
