RE: First Bow, Your thoughts please...
I see you are in NJ, if you are close enough to drive to the PA Cabelas go for it, they have a pro shop there and will measure you and set everything up. They have many setups in store, along with a test range to shoot them.
But if you arent close enough to the store i would recommend going to a local pro shop.
I did pretty mught the same thing but with the PSE Fire Flite at Cabelas. They measured me, i shot a few models and weights then chose the Fire Flite, the tech then made sure that my nock and peep were properly located and cut my arrows to length. This year i upgraded the sight and rest, next year i am probably upgrading my bow and saving the Fire Flite for my oldest son.
