Nows the best time to find a good used bow. The 04 bows are just out and a lot of guys are updating and selling their old ones. I would rather buy a 600.00 bow used for 250.00 than a 250.00 new one. Just my opinion.

There are a bunch of bows from most manufacturers, used and new, that will do just fine. For a beginner, I think it's important to start with something in the longer axel to axel length (38" or longer). Brace height should be carefully looked at too. If your form is not right, you may be hitting your arm alot with the string. 7 1/2" would be the minimum I'd recommend and 8" and over would be much better, while you're learning. I prefer the high brace heights and I've been shooting for 35 years. Take the time to find out who has the best bow shop in the area and get them to find out your correct drawlength. This is very important for good shooting.

Don't worry about getting the best bow made. They will all put an arrow exactly where you point it. Some simply have higher grade materials that will last 400,000 shots, vs 200,000 shots on the lower end. Very few people actually wear a bow out, so don't worry about that. Other bows cost more money to pay for advertising or to recover R&D costs on a new design. You can't buy accuracy, but you can buy a little forgiveness by paying attention to the bow's dimensions.
