RE: Bow for beginner, cheap, is it worth it?
Icedragon - Not exactly sure what you mean by that question. In may case, I ordered a custom set up; I picked out the bow and all of the accessories and they priced it out for me, including the cost of a hard case, tuning, shipping, etc. The price they quoted was a discount from the off-the-shelf prices (or so they say). Could I have done as well or better locally? Hard to say. I'd prefer to deal with a local shop, but there isn't a true pro shop closer than 20 miles from here and they're all limited in what they offer. From my perspective, I got the set up I wanted and it was tuned well, so I can't complain.
