$1000 for a bow? That is insane to try and get a new shooter started on a setup like that. Your best bet is to shoot a variety of platforms, find what is most comfortable and shoots best for YOU, and then get the bare-bones version, no stabilizers, silencers, nothing. Bows are kind of like an AR-15. You can customize it as much as you want. All you will realistically need to get started is a bow, a 2 or 3 pin sight, arrow rest, (whisker biscuits work great for most people and they are pretty cheap) and a half dozen arrows with field tips for practicing and a package (2 or 3) of broadheads. You don't need a release, although it makes shooting much more enjoyable and easy. Bottom line, the most precise and expensive setup in the world is useless without the skill to shoot it in the first place. My grandpa has killed over 20 deer with the bow he bought USED 30 years ago.

I'm getting back in to bowhunting after a couple years off due to lack of time and a properly fitting bow. I'm looking at the PSE Stinger 3G, $399 at Basspro and Cabela's, comes with stabilizer, arrow rest, peep-sight, sling, and nock. I had the chance to shoot one this year at the Northeast Outdoors show and they are very comfortable to shoot, however I'm also a very small guy (about 5'6) and I was shooting a smaller model.
