i want to give ya a pat on the back first off. you will do fine bowhunting. very few people i have seen ahve the thought process you do. You want to do it proper. most just want to buy an expensive bow then try and hunt with it and ask questions later.

Price range- huge a few hundred to over a thousand.
there are alot of things to look at. which is why you need to go to a bow shop and not a retail giant. a proshop will have a more personal approach to your questions rather than just trying to sell you something.
