RE: Newbie Question-Bow advice
The Falcon is a great little bow--very light in the hand (depends on your preferences whether this is an advantage or not), quick and forgiving. A good friend of mine has owned several recurves, and still has at least one that cost a good bit more, but his Falcon is his main bow. He has taken lots of deer and other game with it, and loves it. Excellent bow, in my opinion, if that style "fits" you.
