Oops, as far as type of bow, I can't say. There are so many excellant bows out there. I would suggest you make sure the company is still in business so you can get repairs...just starting out you may want to buy one of the compound bows that can later increase the draw lenght and weight. Many a deer has fallen to a "used" bow that cost less than $200, as long as it is tuned, and set up for the shooter.
