yea i recommend buying a top end bow if you can afford it. most are more forgiving and when you get good at it, then you will appreciate having the better bow. i had a hoyt for one sesaon and then switched to a mathews. unbelievable differences...go big or go home!

IMHO You are better off buying a "big name" bow just to have the higher resale value.
That's poor advice.
You don't just buy a bow because it will have higher resale value.
Don't let people give you bad advice. Buy what fits you best and feels best, whether it be a low or high end bow or whatever brand.

10 months is plenty. The main thing is to know your limitations. There are guys who have been bow hunting for 10 years and should not take a shot over 20 yards. You need to be honest about what you are capable of.

Well I didnn't have alot of cash to start with and got a cheaper but not a XXX-Mart special. It was a cheaper PSE and I will move up in cost as my abilities get better or as I feel I need. Good Luck though!!

Ten months is enough time to become proficient at the range if you take it seriously and practice at least 3 or 4 times a week. Wether it's enough time to be ready for deerhunting is up to you. Some of the best archers in the world come totally un-glued when it's time to draw and make that shot on a live animal.

I was a gunner till a friend turned me on a few years back to a bow built back in the early eighties it probably has about 20% letoff, 50lb. peak weight, nonetheless started practicing with it in May of that year, i practiced and i practiced to the point where my elbow and shoulders were so darn sore, and then i went out on several 3d shoots up untill the season started in late August. I gained alot of experience in that short amount of time to where i dropped my first deer (velvet forked horn) that first season with a bow.
