New kid on the block! Full setup under 1,000 help

Hey guys
Finally saved my pennies up. Been hunting anything that can be taken with rifles & shotgun since I was little. Dad's hooked into bow hunting and has finally pushed me into the jumping in with you bow folks- ( and now I can stop driving past the bow range down the road from me)
So,
With zero experience using a real hunting bow,
I need a whole setup- practice arrows, broad heads , compound bow, sights.... Etc. I've got 600 to drop on it now, but ill go up to 1k for a good complete setup.

I'm looking for general price ranges here-
Arrows, including "kill" and practice ones to break & learn on

Bow- any ones to steer clear of? I've learned with firearms just to suck it up and buy the best one you can find, or risk stupid problems / replacing broken parts/ getting injured with a catastrophic failure.
I'll gladly wait another couple months to get a bow that'll last as long as I can still manage to draw it. That being said, I know the most expensive is rarely the "best"...

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Can't wait to get out there and get hunting!

 

I'd say go to your local archery shop and just test shoot as many bows as you can. Make your choice based on feel, most bow companies now days put out decent products

 

Haha yeah I'm just worried because my local shop is Bass Pro- which while they do have some good stuff, they've got that wal-mart feel to em with 17 year old minimum wage kids reading their upselling scripts...

I'll find a real shop soon but that's good to know.
So there's really no bows that are a total waste?
What puts the real expensive ones apart from say a 200$ bow with the same draw & speed? Weight?

 

A Mathews ZXT, Mathews Qad, HHA sight, Mathews Quiver

 

Wanted to know what you guys thought about the Barb wirer dampers, I want to get some one but I want to know how good they are.

 

No one can truly say what you should buy.
I shoot:
Mathews MR5
QAD Rest
Spot Hogg Site
Easton Axis 9.5 GPI 340s

You need to shoot the bow you are interested in. Your bow should pick you, mine did.

 

Bass pro has some good bows i would try them out still and if u go and u dont feel good abt it at least youd be able to shoot them and see what they shoot like to see what u like and maybe gets ur specs and order a bow offline

 

If I were in your shoes, I would find a top of the line bow from a few years back and buy it used. You can find fully setup Mathews, Hoyt, PSE for around $6-$700 easy including other bows.

Holy crap. Fresh off the shelf this thing was sighted nearly perfect!
Bullseye at 20, 30, 40.
