[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2695416, member: 63925"] Set a budget. Be ready for sticker shock. Much easier to learn proper shooting form on a bow that has good range of draw weight. Takes time to build correct muscles so draw a bow properly. Starting off with too heavy of draw weight because of macho draw weight opinions by shop or yourself will result in poor form, accuracy and potential serious physiological problems like torn bicep tendon, rotator, labrum etc. Bow hunters keep ortho docs on time with condo payments. There is nothing wrong with lower poundage bows since they are fast as well. Takes time to build up muscle memory. Bow quietness, accuracy, hand shock, grip, far more impirtant than velocity. Its a bow not a 30-06. Bows are way slower than speed of sound. Heavier spined arrows will tune better, fly better, penetrate better so forget chasing speed. Quietness and accuracy is number one goal. Once you shoot, see "the mystical flight of the arrow", its worse than LRH. Sorry. But have fun!😂 [/QUOTE]
