thanks for all the replies. as for why a starter bow. I have seen ready to hunt kits pretty reasonably priced. not sure how much I will get in to the sport. right now I work out of town and my weekends are split with family, motorcycle racing and gun hunting (predators). so I'm pressed to add another hobby into the mix.
right now I'm looking at a parker ultra lite 31.
I may have to look at some reviews on the mighty mite LOL too
