New Guy,
These guys have given you some of the best advice.
I to am geting back in the sport,I did what everyone told me,shoot lots of diffrent bows.I shot almost all of the major bow makers out there.I shot Hoyt,BowTech,Martin,Jennings,Pearson,Bear,Mathews, PSE,Reflex and Parker.It came down to the Switchback and the Hoyt-Ultra Tech,well I bought the SB and spent nearly a grand getting it all set up.
I looked at a lot of great bows and for 600 bucks total you can get a great package.I would look at www.huntersfriend.com they have som good deals and they helped me alot on the phone asking ?.I almost bought the Reflex Grizzly from them.
Just shoot and see what you like.

Almost forgot I looked at fall away rests also and I figured the less moving parts the better,I shot 2 diffrent ones the Trophy Taker and the Montana Black gold Trap door 4 both were good rests.
I opted for the New Whisker Bisket,wich I like alot.
Hope this helps BBJ
