    I would recommend. . . . using smaller letters :cool: . .. and then go to your local shop and shoot every bow you can.

    I would look at Parker bows and / or Diamond bows...both have packages and both are great products.

    Get out there and try some out I doubt you could go wrong unless it's a bowtech.:deer:

    I'm just kidding, that is for a buddy of mine at BT.

    Shoot as many different bows as possible. Then buy what is comfortable to you.

    Probably the best NEW entry level bow out there is something like a Martin Bengal, Bear Instinct, BT Tomkat or Hoyt Hawk series bow. If you want a real nice rig, check some classifieds, specifically Archerytalk.com, as they have probably the biggest classifieds section on-line I've seen, and you can pick up some great almost NEW used bows for a few hundred dollars cheaper than they were new, and they still have LOTS of use left in them!!! That's how I've bought my last few bows, and I've picked 'em up as cheap as $80 for a NEW with tags still one it womens/youth bow, and $400 shipped to my door, for a bow that was a year old that had originally been $799 with new strings on it (about $65-70), and a $100 rest on it. If you've shot something you like, I'd recommend the AT-classifieds route. If you have a GOOD shop locally and want to buy new, then go with your local shop.

    Head to the pro shop and shoot or find a top of the line used one from a trustworthy person.
