RE: New archer just starting out...
If you are looking for a Lower priced Hunting Bow you could Not do any better than the new Ross Carnivore. It is simply said a very smooth shooter, that aims and holds like a rock. Diamond also has some lower priced Bows that you should shoot, as well as the BowTech Sniper, and Swat.
If on the other hand $$ is not a problem then try shooting all the New Center pivot bows you can get your hands on. The Admiral will No doubt be Bow ofthe yearin many circles.
