RE: Newbie needs help buying new bow and accessories..
I would suggest that you look at what your local dealers around you sell and stick with one of those brands if you find one you like.They will be the ones to do warranty work if something happens and when it is the night before your big hunt during the rut and you notice your bow need s new part, it is handy to have a dealer that would be willing to do a little extra for you. I live over 70 miles from my nearest dealer and it sucks. You save a little money when you buy online but you lose the advice, help and experience of a pro shop.
