Bows need to be fitted to the person. You need to follow the advice from @Sparkey and the others above.Decided to try a Bow
Would this be a good start for a beginner ?
Thank You
Ive been shooting archery for 30 years and still use a whisker biscuit on my setups. Nothing wrong with simple, easy and reasonably priced.Any ready to hunt package will work for you you're going to want something with a whisker biscuit when you first starting out. Especially if you're hunting. Then eventually you'll move up.
Like the others have said do not buy a bow at Bass pro or Cabela's. The guys at kittery trading posts are pretty knowledgeable as well as any other archery shop. The most important thing is having it set up for you correctly. If it's not you'll never be accurate. They don't do that at the big box stores.
Hands down best bang for the buck for a quality setup that does not break the bank.....BearDecided to try a Bow

Thank You
Appreciate all the Guidance
Will be a hunting Bow
Kinda disappointed that you have to have the bow fitted like a new suit
Have to X3 since going thru this with the Grand Kids
But plenty of time to look and find the right deal
Need to get the tracking and behavioral skills down.
One other Question
How do you handle ticks in the brush
Most deer with bows are taken from treestands.....so that adds a ton more equipment and bullshit. Stands, Safety ropes, climbing bullshit. Doesn't have to be, but true successful archers hunt trees. Its tough to draw unseen by a deer at close range. Its just the truth. Not that it cant be done, but you'll be busted a ton and it turns many off because they feel they can't be successful.Appreciate all the Guidance

Nice to see you getting back into the sport and having success.Went down to Jerry's Bait and Tackle yesterday. Ended up buying a Hoyt Torrex. Spent a couple of hours there with Jerry while he adjusted the bow to me and worked with me a bit on sight adjustment. The target shots are from 10 yards and 20 yards. These are from a guy that hasn't put more then then a dozen arrows down range for about 15 years. If I do what I am supposed to the bow will do its part.
Reedys in middleborow has always been good to me
