what kind of bow should I start with

I would go with Darton but a beginning bow is PSE cheap and reliable

GET A PSE bow !!!!!
i got one and its the best onebow youwill ever have, first year bow hunting i got a buck, and it groups arrows so tight i broke 4 arrows by hitting itwith another arrow!!!

Don't go with either of the two listed above unless you've shot them yourself and feel comfortable with them.....the bow I use or anyone else might not necessarily be the right bow for you...it comes down to personal preference. There are tons of great bows on the market from inexpensive to extremely expensive and everyone of them will take deer and shoot great. It comes down to what bow you can afford, accessorize and shoot...choose one that's right for you and not the one someone else necessarily shoots...

As you see by the first two responses....asking what bow will get you nothing more than opinions...you need to decide for yourself.....it could be Hoyt, Bowtech, Mathews, Darton, Martin, PSE, Onieda, Parker, Champion, Reflex, Buckmasters, Browning, Merlin, etc....etc....etc.....and so on and son on....hundreds of opinions...ask yourself what you want.

that is 100% true. but i still have to give my opinion. i started shooting with some really old bow and i dont know what it was. but my second bow was a PSE nova. i liked it and i broke a ton of nocks because of the grouping i got.

Listen to Rob!

robs right its all what you feel is best. Myself I started with Ben Pearson long bow Moved to a browning compound and am now loving A fred bear

hes right but WARNING shoot a goodPSE bow and you wont turn back, especillay cause there very cheap along with amazingly adjustable (mine can go from 25 pull to 60) and when you see how they group arrows from 30 yards

What I would do if I were you, research all you can on the different options available to you. Read articles posted on bow websites about buying a bow and the different options. At that point, you may price some bows online and then make a tentative budget.

Then go to a local shop and take a look at what they have.
1) how it holds/feels in your hand
2)consider the weight of the bow
3) how smooth the draw is
4) how it shoots
5) how fast it shoots
6) how loud it is

consider these and don't let anybody pressure you. Go with what feels right

Follow Robs advice. When you find the right bow you will know it.
