[QUOTE="NDSportsman, post: 310836, member: 444"] When I started 30 years ago I went into scheels and they set me up right. Of course cost is relative but I'd start out with mid range equipment and see if you like it enough to put the time in, no sense jumping in with both feet until you test the water. You can always upgrade in fact most do every few years anyway. Always new and improved equipment coming out. Shoot a lot, from different angles, heights, distances, awkward positions, wearing the same clothes you'll be hinting in, etc. As someone mentioned earlier, that 70# bow doesn't do any good when you can't draw it in late December wearing heavier clothing. Don't need that much poundage to kill a deer at reasonable ranges anyway. Use the same type of arrows for practice that you plan on hunting. [/QUOTE]
