Outdoor Guy if I were you I would start off by going to a local pro shop and let them help you find a bow that fits you. A quality pro shop will let you shoot several models. It will not take long to figure out what feels good or not to you. I myself don't like buying bows on E-bay, though they do have good deals. By just looking at a picture a person can't draw or shoot the bow the bow, or inspect it for safety. Most new bows look good in adds, but you don't know if you realy like them, until you draw and shoot them. You can get a very good new bow in the $300 range. Of course you might after shooting a bunch, like a bow that's in the $600 range. There nothing wrong with starting of with, the top of the line equipment.
