I'll recommend the Bear Attitude to anyone who's looking to get started in bow hunting, but you really need to go to a pro shop first. They'll be able to set up a few different rigs for you to try out, so you can see what you like before you buy. Personally I prefer something that's smooth on the draw and quiet on the release. Its not a big deal to me if its not the fastest bow made. Bottom line, go get your hands on as many different bows as you can before you buy. Once you pick one out, its practice, practice, practice. It's gonna take time, commitment, and a whole lotta target practice before you're ready to actually hunt.
