RE: first bow, which one
goto a shop and tell them your price range...shoot some above it also just to get a feel for the diffrence. dont forget alllll the goodies to go along with a bow though. sights, rest, release, arrows, stabilizer, quiver etc etc etc...my bow was only 350 BARE..just the bow. which is a mid level bow. but by the time i got EVERYTHING added on, plus 2 targets(fieldpoint and broadhead) i spent about 700$...and am already going to upgrade sights and rest by next season. and i bought a "ready to hunt package" from Huntersfriend and saved a goooood bit of cash. atleast 100$ or so saved...my sights and rest are mid level also..and work great...just looking to upgrade already...ALOT of choices to make....i could bought a cheaper bow..but im glad i didnt. i learned to shoot good QUICK. a cheaper bow would held me down. i dont think a cheaper bow would feel as good, or shoot as good as what im shooting now.
