Just like what the others are saying, I'll repeat. Get something that is forgiving when you shoot. Speed in not everything, accuracy is!! Go and shoot a variety bows, and do it over again if you have to . I would have to suggest maybe reading reviews on different bows, maybe do some searching here on the Internet. Just take your time, and don't rush into it. Get something that's comfortable to you, and don't let someone talk you into to something else you don't want or can't afford. You'll find one, good luck.
