    Hello Everyone,

    I am very new to bowhunting. I am excited to begin. With that being said, I am on the market for a bow, but don't wish to break the bank. I need one that is fairly price, I can take out into the field that is durable. If any of you have advice on Bows, and also any pointers advice with bow hunting that would be great. Thank you and I hope to get rocking soon and bagging some great game.

    Welcome to the site. I suggest you figure out your budget and hit a few archery shops and give seveal bows a try. After shooting a few you will start to get a feel for which ones you like and which you don't. Or you can check the classifieds section of the site and you might find some great deals depending on your budget and draw weight and length. Good luck

    Welcome. If you know anyone that already bowhunts I would ask them what shop they go to and go there and have them help you.

    I agree.

    first-Do you have a knowledgeable friend already involved in bow hunting that would love to help you out?
    second-you must find a great bow shop...which is hard to determine if you don't know a lot
