    I recently have decided to start up bowhunting and I need help in picking out a bow that suits me. I am 21 years old 5'8" and 160lbs. My draw length, based on a chart I saw, would be 26" but I'll say 25"-27" to be safe. I do not know my draw weight yet, since i decided just two days ago. I'm looking to spend $250-$500 on the bow, sight and arrow rest. What should I get? Thanks!

    You should go to a local bow shop and have them measure your draw length and try out a few bows. They will be able to get you set up pretty good. Shoot as many bows in your price range as possible and let it pick you.

    Go shoot a handful of bows at a local shop and see what you like that fits your price range. Best of luck to you.
