Go to some shops shoot some used ones. Find what you like the best and look on archerytalk.com for one. They will be much cheaper than in shops usually. You can easily find a bow that is only a couple years old with little wear and tear on it for 400 or less. Good luck, if you love watching all kinds of wildlife and being in the woods/outdoors during the best times of the year, bowhunting is the place for you. Its a blast. WCL
