Here is how I got into Traditional, I was at my local archery shop and drew back a Bear black panther hunter 52" 503@28 inches, I baught it and a dozen aluminum shafts and shot it, got real good with it, and went hunting. Then I baught a Damon Howat 66" recurve and shot it for awhile. Then I picked up a longbow and have shot nothing but longbows since.

So to answer your question, The Samick bows are good bows, so are the PSE and the Impala is a great bow. Get a low poundage to start, 45 or 50 pounds, you can hunt with 45 pounds for deer most anywere, and 50# for bigger animals. As far as arrows, I shoot wood, but you aluminum and carbon, i would choose aluminum to start with, cheaper than carrbon, try a tab and a glove and see what you like. Good luck.
