my advice start hitting the archery shops and shoot everything you can afford! the bow will pick you,as stated mathews makes a good rig,Hoyt makes some great stuff, im shooting a hoyt alpha max 32, i had 5 different mathews bows till i shot this, avoid the bowtechs,my dealer quit sellin them due to many repairs i shoot alot any questions pm me remember bows lose value FAST so get one you like coz u wont get u money back out of it
