Remington Lover,

I agree fully with the other reply in this artical, I personally started out shooting recurves without sights then moved to recurves with sights then was allowed to get a compound bow with out sights then with sights. that really helped me with accuracy and helped win a gold medal or 2, but as for a good bow to start with first you must go to a local proshop to get measured for weight, and draw length. Then you need to brouse through the bow racks and draw everyone until you find one that you like the feel of, but remember to draw with the shooting aid you will use (finger tab, glove or release). I would if you want to be ready to hunt by next season select a compound bow with soft cams or round wheels, a sight pin, stabilizer, and release aid. I would also make sure to buy arrows that match your bow. Not too light or heavy, over or under spined. And then there is only one thing left to do, find an old friend and have them teach you how to shoot.

Good Luck Kid
See you in the woods
