RE: newbie with no clue
Definitely look for a good bow shop. Far more important then the actual bow brand, will be the skills of the shop helping you out. Ask around and find out who runs the best shop and gives the best advise to their customers. All shops will be able to set you up with something low in price, but only some of them will fit you properly, tune your bow correctly and give you sound advise on accessories, arrows and broadheads. Good shops can also boost your shooting skills quickly by giving some basic coaching. Don't worry about the bow, worry about finding the best local advise.
Good luck,
