You will probably get many MINE is the best.
Look for a Bow IN YOUR PRICE range.
If it feels good in your hand & comes in the adjustable range you want, go for it.
Tons of Good Bows out there.

I personally shoot Dartons but have family members shooting Bear, PSE, Darton.

Your biggest advertisers seem to be Mathews, Hoyt, Parker & a few more.
MOST expensive doesn;t mean your going to do much better in the hunting end.

My current Bow on sale was $99 regular $260 I think. I've killed Buffalo, Elk, many Whitetails & other Biggame with it in the past 5-6 years. Look at your local Archery shops when possible & if the price is in the ball park from mail order buy from them as you usually get decent service from a good dealer. Check out Bass Pro & Cabelas plus Name brand Archery Mfg. on the net & you can AT LEAST SEE the models & their prices. HOW if feels in "your" hand is the clue. If you like the feel & draw & it's in your price-buy it-don't worry to much about the NAME BRAND, especially for your 1st.. Good luck.
My other 2 Bows were top of the line Dartons when I purchased them.
