I was in your shoes about a month ago. I'm 20 and have never bow hunted. I started looking and found myself a Mathews Drenalin. I was instantly hooked. I've just been able to shoot seeing as how season isn't in, and I already can't put the thing down. You'll love it bud. Do yourself the favor and go out and buy you a bow. set up cost is a little expensive, depending on what you buy. But you can shoot and shoot and shoot, and not spend a dollar. And you'll love it!!
