Double Creek gave some good advice. The way I went about it is a bought a used Hoyt and went from there. I went through a few different type rest and releases and now its time to buy a NEW bow!! Ho-raay for me! I now know what I like. I had my other bow for 5 years and its time to retire it! Don't let anyone talk you into something you don't need either, take your time and shoot a bunch of different bows. Whats a good bow for one might not be good for someone else. This time of year you can get a good deal on a excellent used bow! Good luck!!!!!!
