Thanks for the advice!!!

I will definately go and try out some bows... I just need to go a time when they are less busy...

The reason I don't mind spending $1,000 up front is I would hate to end up getting into something buying relatively inexpenseive equipment, than having to upgrade later. It is a time issue for me. I would rather start with a bow that I will have for a long time. I did this with my Muzzle loader and couldn't be happier (rifle as well).

The bow I have played around with most is the VTEC... Is their another model out their in the same price range/options that would be good to check out.

I thought you guys would have that view on sharing... If there was a year I was unable to hunt, could my father get the bow adjusted for him, so he could use it? Then the following year I could adjust it back.

Thanks again...
