So...I purchased a bow yesterday at Archery Plus. I got a Mission BX-1. It was a little more than I wanted to spend (isn't that always the case) but it felt better than the PSE Stinger that I had previously tried. 50-60# limbs (breaks at 60.5) with a 29" draw cam. Kieth and Brad? were great. Now I've got to get practicing and to some 3D shoots. THanks for all the advice and in advance for all the questions about bows and bow hunting that I am going to bombard you with.

just got the new matthews Z7(28" 70lb) last week, had a parker wildfire last season ,today i just shot my first perfect robin hood shot. Both arrows dead and one lumenok destroyed. fall away rest huge upgrade to my grouping..
Just picked up a Mathews Z7 at Reedy's in Middleboro today. Did some research and talked to a few bow hunting buddies and went down to Reedy's to see what they had. Plenty of choices for bows,even for the girls, and lots of accessories to choose from. The people working there are great. Very knowledgable. Spent about an hour setting up and shooting arrows, and fine tuning. Walked out of there feeling like Robbin Hood! Well almost. If your in the area stop in. Great place.
I'm picking up my first bow this year as well, I think I've settled on the Hoyt Turbohawk but I was wondering what peoples preferences were for arrow rest and sights. There's so much to this, it almost seems like picking the bow is the easy part.
