The first thing I would do is set you budget for how much you are able to spend. The second is to have a professional archery proshop help you determine your correct draw length...very important! As some of the other guys have said, a well maintained used bow could be the way for you to go, but you have to realize that the bow will not come with a warranty. You could also go with a starter or mid price range complete package and get everything you need to get you started. Do some research online and check out reviews of some of the different bows that you might like to buy and take some time doing it. Lastly, go and shoot every bow that you can get your grubby little arrow flingin' hands on! Also, be carefull not to let the archery tech talk you into spending more than you can afford! Sometimes they are like car salesmen. Good luck with your quest and post some pics of the new bow when you get it!
