    I am also new to bow hunting but I am going to venture to say you did get a good deal considering the prices of bows and you got some extras and what not... PSE makes some nice equipment...

    Just my limited .02

    I dropped $435 on my stater set a couple of months ago, for the same bow so I would say you got a good deal.

    My parker Eagle Outfitter setup plus arrows,field tips,broadheads,Bag,Release, was $610 so he got a really good start for $250 in my opinion

    heres a pic I am shooting left handed and im right but im left eye dominate the bow is at 80% its not super hard to pull back but defiantly fatigues my arm after like 5 draws is it because my arm is not use to it or should I lower the poundage

    That's a great deal and a good starter bow. You probably need the poundage lowered on the draw weight. Take your bow to a local archery shop and let them adjust your bow for you the right way. Save yourself from damaging your bow or making it a hazard to shoot.

    Considering I got the 2013 version of that setup for about $450 in January, I'd say you made a killing.

    Shooting is shooting, fundamentals are fundamental. Pulling to much weight too soon and your going to sacrifice your form and technique.

    The house don't matter if the foundation is shot.
