What kinda budget we talkin' here? At 14 I'd have been better off throwing a stick at a deer. Honestly I'd go with whatever you can afford, whisker biscuit rest, 3 pin sight, and a release.
Best thing you can do is find a local archery shop and tell them your budget and just start trying bows out. Just find one you like, and buy that. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I went with a bear cruzer. Its fully adjustable so if you grow more or as you get stronger it will still work for you. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
I started out with a Bear attitude, you could be ready to hunt for a couple hundred bucks to see if you like bow hunting enough to upgrade in the future. I started to upgrade things on my bow like fall away rest, sights, stabilizer, etc.... you can take off and put these things on a more higher quality bow when your ready for it.
Something that is very adjustable. Something that has adjustable draw length and that has a wide range of poundage for the draw. This year I bought my niece a bow I wasn't sure what one she would want so I bought a Bear cruzer and PSE fever Upon getting them I chose to give her the PSE as in my opinion was a way better bow. Fully adjustable and doesn't feel as cheap as the Cruzer did to me. The fever can be adjusted up to 60lbs and 29" draw length I have brought her out a couple times and the bow shoots really nice Another option is the Diamond infinite edge
I agree with the previously stated. I started out on a PSE beast about 20 years ago. That was all I could afford at the time but it would kill deer and hogs no problem. I think for a starter bow I would look for a reasonably priced package deal that can be adjusted to a wide range of poundage and draw length just like the others said. The package deal can get you shooting the quickest and then over time you can upgrade sight and such. Be on the look out for a pushy sales man though. Last bow I bought the salesman went as far as to try to poke fun at me for wanting to purchase a less expensive bow instead of the new top of the line Hoyt he wanted me to pay for. Probably an isolated incident but get what you want and not what someone tells you you want. The shooter makes the shot, the bow is just a tool. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
There are many budget friendly bows out there to grow with. I started with a Hoyt Ruckus - but then went to a Mathews Mission series...I've since moved onto an Elite....but, I think the Mission Series would be a good place to look. They're pretty affordable and you can grow with it.
