More important than the bow, is the fit. You can shoot just as good with a low-end bow as a high-end model. Go to a bow shop and make sure you' re fitted properly.

In my opinion, a beginner is better off not spending a fortune on top of the line stuff. First, find out if you like it and when the opportunity arises, try different types of releases, rests, sights, quivers, etc. Once you' ve gotten to the point where you know what you want, go for it.
