Like doublelung said, Hoyt and Mathews are the 2 best bows IMO, but they can get a little pricey......go to a proshop and shoot bows within your price range, and pick the one that feels best in your hands. Get a smooth shooting bow with a moderate axle to axle, and a long brace height, which will make it easier and more forgiving to shoot. BTW, I shoot a Mathews.
