Well you can outspend your firearm purchases with a bow if you realy want to. Unless you bought realy fancy firearms.

I think you can get a realy nice bow for around 300 all dressed up. Then you have arrows which are maybe another 100. Less if you only by 6.

However, you have to remember if you haven't shot a boy you cannot expect to shoot a realy heavy weight. Go try pulling a 60 lbs compound. It may be fine it may be to heavy. I currently shoot a 70lbs longbow and a 74 lbs compound. But I have shot for 22 years. You should be able to easily pull your bow straight back without having to lift the bow hand raising the bow up. Think about a deer being close and you have to not spook him.

As for what bow you'll like. Its all up to you. If you find one to get started on cheap you can build yourself up to a better weight and then buy a nice bow...Just a thought.

Also a suggestion. If you end up shooting lower weight stay away from mechanical Broadheads. Most require more Kenetic Energy than a lower weight compound may produce. Thats my opinion of course. A good cut on contact BH will not fail.
