Welcome to the forums.

I would suggest that you visit some local bow shops and ask some questions. Find one that will take the time to to measure your draw length. Once that is done and you know what your draw is, do some comparison shopping. There is nothing wrong with visiting different shops and shooting different bows.

Find the one that fits and feels the best and is within your budget. There are some nice bows out there that are affordable. I'd recommend trying out Martin, Bear, Diamond, Mission and Pearson.

A lot of dealers are full of hot air, so listen to what they say and then make your own decisions. Good luck!

If you're a beginner, you could get a pretty good Martin set up for under $500.

A grand goes along way with mid grade bows dont buy the cheapest one. It will lead to disappointment or 2 ftitis ( the yearning to up grade), Go with what feels good, Go to as many proshops as you can, If they are Rude or dont act like they have time for you leave, and never tell them how much you have to spend, they want to make money. Proper set up is they key to happiness with a bow. If it it right they can have you hitting the marks after a couple of sessions. :welcome:

:welcome: I second the suggestion to shoot as many as you can before buying. I personally would buy from the place that seems the most trustworthy and willing to help me pick the best bow for me, not the most profitable one for them. Good, friendly service is very important to me.
