Well if you are getting into bowhunting I cant think of a better bow to try out than a PSE Nova. I got one when i was 14, grew out of it and got another one and killed a couple of deer with it, now i have a Mathews MQ1. The bow i have now is top of the line...but the price tags are too. The more I got into bow hunting the more i wanted a Mathews. I got the Mathews 4 1/2 yars ago and have had it since..but that PSE was awesome while i had it. You cant beat it for a starter..and the price tag is great. You can get a kit..bow, sights, rest, quiver, everything for 270 or 280 bucks out of redhead or cabelas i think. Its a good one, my dad is still shooting my old one cuz when i got bigger than him i just gave it to him when i got my Mathews. Its good. Bows nowadays run high..you could buy 2 quality rifles for the price of a top of the line bow. Like 6 and 700 bucks for a bear bow alone...no kit. Its crazy. This is a good one to try though, perfect for hunting too.
