Go to a good reputable Archery Shop and check out the new Bows,You'll find most are reasonably priced and have good life time warranties when bought new!Some times buying a Used Bow can cost You more if they weren't taken care of unless You can get one from a Friend that takes care of their equipment?Always have a Used Bow checked out and especially the string!

The new Mission Bows are nice and reasonably priced and made by Matthews so Your getting a good quality Bow.You should try out many different Bows to see which one fits You the best and is more enjoyable to shoot!

Bows have come a long ways over the years and each year there is something better about them that makes them faster,quieter and more reliable.Resale on Used Bows are pretty low because of this.

I would suggest Carbon Arrows,a good hand/wrist release,putting a D-loop on the string,using a good drop-away rest and a simple 2 or 3 pin sight,a good sharp fixed 3-blade like the Montec G-5 or NAP HellRazor among other things You'll need to get started!
