Got to a shop that has several brands and shoot as many as they will let you shoot. If you have a Bass Pro or Cabela's near you, go to one of them and shoot everything you can, focus on how the draw feels and how they feel on the release, how the "wall" feels, etc. EVERY bow you shoot will feel better than that dinosaur you have right now, but a few of those bows will feel a touch better to you personally. If money is NO OBJECT, the Hoyt Alphamax 35 is the BEST bow I've ever shot, great SMOOTH draw, shock free on release, the BEST wall of any bow I've ever shot, and LIGHT, something MANY guys have complained that HOYT didn't know how to do.

If money is a bit of a concern, there are numerous used bows on line many places, but the BEST online classifieds I've found for bows is on archerytalk.com. We have some decent ones here, but there are a BUNCH of bow on there, and some of them are damn near give-aways. Don't get wrapped around the "Brand" name too much, they're ALL GOOD BOWS. If buying NEW, they almost all have LIFETIME warranties to the ORIGINAL BUYER, so it will be a bow that you can have confidence in, and IF something does break, it will be warranteed. Also if you go to a shop, have someone measure you and make sure that your DL is correct. This is a great place to "bounce" questions off of people, and you may be far ahead of where many guys "new" to archery specifically because you have this resource at your finger tips.

Good Luck, and whatever you buy, SHOOT STRAIGHT!!!
