Default Newbie to BowHunting. Help Wanted and Greatly Appreciated!!!!!!!

Im gonna get a new bow from my friend soon. I cant remember what it is but its a 45#-60# draw weight. Its a nice bow. I was Just wondering, what do i need for that bow to meke it a good deer hunting bow? I cant remember if it has pins or not. I need to know types of arrows, broadheads, releases, arrow rests, pins, quivers, silencers, ans stabilizers i need. I dont really know much at all about bows so i need all the help i can get. I havent done much research, because there is so much stuff out there that i could research that i dont know where to start. So any help is greatly Apprecited. Thanks in advance.

First off take the bow into your local pro shop and have them check it over. Then make sure it fits you, they can tell you this, if the bow checks out and it fits you, get it setup, new string, maybe sight if needed and a good quality rest. Then ask the proshop what they recomend for arrow weight that best matches the draw weight your comfortable pulling. Get the arrows cut to the correct length, you should be good with 100 grain heads. Get yourself a good release, and practice practice practice. Bow hunting can be very very expensive, if you are strung for cash you can usually find things on here that people may hand down to you, or find cheaper in the for sale section of the forums. Dont be afraid to take a hand down piece of equipment here. Most of the guys and gals here take very good care of their things and are very good people and wont screw you over. Ill look and see if I have anything left to give away, but I dont think so. Good luck and have fun with it. Its very addicting.

i agree with the guy above. have the bow shop make sure the cable slide and string silencers are in good condition. i would go with a wisker biscuit and a tru glo 4 pin sight. it comes with a 5th pin but you probably wont need it. limb saver makes a good stabilizer and if your bow is split limb get the vibration dampners to fit it. go with carbon over aluminum arrows and the broadheads are really your choice. you can make any bow a good bow by the way you take care of it and the accersories you add. thats what i did with my starter bow last year. this is my second year bow hunting. hoping to add another notch to it.
