RE: JUST GETTIN STARTED
Personally, I have been liking carbons lately (Beman MFX Classic) just because I don't go through as many of them. But really, shoot whatever type you'd like. As far as the bow, for starting, I'd say go with something around 40-45 pounds at your draw length. Personally, I shoot 51#'s at 30 inchesrightnow and after shooting for a while even at that weight, itdoes effect my form. My next bow will around 45# though. FWIW I have had bows all the way up to74#'s.
