RE: Going to get my first bow...but which one?
Theres nothing wrong with ordering a bow from a catalog such as cabelas, they have great deals. You just need to know your draw length. If your gonna have a shop set it up after you buy it they will charge you because you didnt purchase from them, but so what pay them. Or buy one set up from cabelas and read everything you can about tuning a bow. I bet within weeks you'll be right there where you need to be. I like the Buckmaser G2 they have at Cabelas, 500 bucks fully rigged. I would reccomend that one. I shoot a very similar bow, Fred Bear TRX 32. look around at used also, check out the pawn shops, and dont give them what there asking they should work a better deal with you.
