My advice would be to shop around and find gear you feel comfortable with.Try different bows untill you find one in our price range you feel fits your needs.Have it professionally set up to fit you, draw length, draw weight, arrows, etc....Practice shooting it as much as you can and from as many positions as you can, standing, kneeling, sitting, elevated stands, etc... at various yardages.

Dont get hung up on name brands, doesnt matter who makes a bow if it isnt one your comfortable with, and any of them on the market will kill a deer just as dead as the next one.

Accessories are also a personal choice but with them you get what you pay for in most cases.You dont need to spend a fortune on them but at the same time the 10$ bowsight at walmart or the bargain bin broadheads probably are gonna break or fail at the worst possible moments.Personally I look at all of them and usually wind up with middle priced items.

Basically dont rush into it, shop around, and get a set up you can use, and afford, and it will last you a lotta years, at least till you get bored with it and want to a new bow
