I would suggest shooting whatever bow you choose before you buy it.

I suggest going to an archey pro shop and let them determine your draw lenght. Shoot several brands before you decide. A bow is like a pair of shoes, if it doesnt fit you you will not be comfortable with it.Buying your first bow from evay is not a good idea. just my opinion.

After much debate  I've decided to make a trip to BassPro tomorrow evening & try several different bows. Any suggestions on which bows I should shoot that will be within my $500 budget?
