Check with a pro shop close to you. Most will let you shoot the bow, some have used bows and, they can put you in touch with other shooters in your area. They can also help with making sure the bow fits you and is set up correctly. Just because a bow is marketed as "ready to hunt" doesn't mean it is ready to hunt for you.

As far as quality goes, even the low end bows, today, are better than what we had available just a few years ago so just get one that feels right for you.

As a side note, whatever bow you buy, don't scrimp on arrows. Even a "bad" bow will shoot good arrows but, the best bow on the market won't perform with junk arrows.
