A little touchy arent we?

Give us a little feed back about if and what you want to hunt with it or just target shoot. How much do you feel like spending? How old are you? How tall / big / strong are you?

You can get good bows for $200 up to $1000. They all fling arrows. Some faster, some slower. Some have more or less hand shock than others. ETC...ETC...

IMO a great first time bow would be a Parker hunter mag ($440 package) or stealth hunter ($560 package). Both of these bows can be had in a "package" deal that will provide you with a pre set up rest, quiver, arrows, sight, bow sling. All you would need to add would be a release if you want to use one, a stabilizer and some limb savers. Here is Parkers link. Oh yeah, they make cross bows too.
