There are many great bows out there available at just about everyones budget. What I would do, is go to some of the local proshops around you and shoot a few and see what is more comfortable. Bear makes some terrific bows and PSE makes them as well, at affordable prices. Look at the Bear Lights Out or PSE Stinger. These two bows are excellent bows and affordable for about everyone. They are fast, quiet and real easy to shoot...I love my PSE Stinger.
