Yeah, when I bought my bow I found an excellent site that broke down what all the terminology meant, all the little things to know about buying and owning a bow. My regret was not actually shooting one first to know what my comfortable draw weight and actual draw length was. All the numbers online are guestimates, which can't compare to how an actual particular bow feels in your hands. Places like bass pro and cabelas are great because you can try a lot of different bows to see which one you like. Just don't go on a weekend when there's a hundred other people wanting to shoot too...
