10 months is plenty enough time if you put in the time and effort. If money is not an option, I would go with a high end bow. Chances are that you are going to become addicted (like all of us) and you will probably end up buying a better bow next year anyway (I know I did). If you like PSE I would look into the Vengeance. I just got one and it is one smooth and silent piece of machinery, completely shock free. Plus it has plenty of speed. Good luck!
