My dad shoots the diamond and like it alot.Go to a archery shop and get measured for draw,then look for a nice used bow all set up at that draw.The pull weight can be adjusted to what works for you.Set you draw weight as high as you can and still draw back smooth with out haveing to stuggle/shake etc.. When you draw on a deer you want as little movement as possible.On a limited budget the diamond or bear will make a great first bow!!
