I normally try to stay out of these things, but do have to give what I would call sound advice. You know virtually nothing about archery or bowhunting. Therefore you will end up, almost assuredly, getting a package with a bow that is the incorrect draw length for you and too much draw weight.

I would suggest going to a local pro shop and at least seeing what they can offer you. Get measured for draw length properly with no guessing. Don't forget, somewhere down the road you're going to need some servicing on your equipment. It's better to know someone that has better knowledge of what they are doing and can and will take the time to set up your equipment and help you with some fundamentals on how to shoot it.

At least give them a chance. Price differences aren't always that great for the same gear.
