I am new to this site and i also have not ever bowhunted, but i have become interesting in getting into bowhunting. I am looking for any suggestions for bows in the midprice range or from 350-500 dollars(just for the bow). I would also appreciate some suggestions on the sights, arrow holder, release, and arrow selection and broadheads.

[/align]How much bowshooting have you done? Skill level will play a key role in bow selection. Longer axle to axle length bows with higher brace heights will be easier for a novice to learn to shoot with. 36" or longer and say a 7 1/2" or higher brace height would be best. Shooting with fingers or release? For fingers you will want a ata of 40" or longer to eliminate "finger pinch". A good bow, IMO, for a beginner at a good price would be the Reflex Grizzly. $299, relatively fast (305 fps), 38" long ata, 7 1/2" brace height. Good shooting bow and is very forgiving of imperfect form. Reflex makes a tough, no nonsense hunting bow. Shoot one and see if it feels right. Shoot others as well. Find one that fits and feels right. The accessories you use are a matter of preference. There are more good accessories today than ever. Don't skimp on them. A mid-priced bow with good accessories will usually shoot better than a top-end bow with junk accessories. Hope it helps and welcome to archery/bowhunting.

Shoot as many bows as you can . Dont worry about brand name buy what feels and shoots good. I would suggest using a pro shop to get you correct measurement for draw. Also a good proshop can help you get your bow tuned with all the accessories on it eliminating a lot of headaches. The extra money spent is woth it in my opinion for a novice shooter. Also dont buy a bow with too much poundage. Some people fall into a macho sterotype that more is better, it aint necessarily so.

Oops forgot to welcome you. Bowhunting has got to be the biggest rush you can get. Your gonna love it.

Thanks, btw i have not ever shot a bow, i love hunting but i don't feel like i have accomplished anything buy shooting a deer with a high powered rifle.
