That solely depends on you. Are you planning on getting back into it for the long haul? Do you plan to do a lot of bowhunting? How much cash do you have to throw into it to start?

If you don't have to worry to much about spending, by all means buy a good top end bow that feels good to you and you can shoot well. I think starting with "junk" really plays a factor at how successful you are afield and how much fun you have shooting your new bow. Think about it, if you have the money to buy a jaguar, but buy an old clunker, how much are you going to enjoy driving it?

I will stress that you do not by any means need top of the line bows to kill deer and have fun. This is just how I look at it. I'm sure others look at it totally different. I started with an old Golden Eagle bow and killed many deer with it. The more I liked bowhunting, the better of equipment I persued.

I say buy what you want, if it happens to be a Hoyt or Bowtech, great, if not great again. Its not the bow that kills, its the hunter.
