Default RE: New to Bowhunting..got a few questions

Best thing to do is go to a pro shop and check out all the bows in your price range, the bow for you will be the one that feels the most comfortable to you when you hold it. Talk to the pro and if you buy the bow have him tune it and set it up for you. I can tell you right now that as long as you are sticking with known brand names that you will find a bow that will be more then enough for deer hunting. Have the pro shop set you up with your arrows also, go with Easton aluminums, they are excellent arrows and fairly inexpensive in comparison to graphite arrows and the like.

Get a good target and PRACTICE, practice, and then practice some more. You should also get a release and arm gaurd. You do not need all the bells and whistles to have a bow that will do the job very well.

Now after you have hunted with the bow a few years you may want to try different arrows, broadheads or even a new bow, but for now go with what you can afford.
