First thing I would do is go is go to a shop and shoot some bows and get a feel as to what your looking for. A elite feels different from Hoyt or pse or elite or Matthews or new breed or anything else. you need what bows feel good to you and while your at figure out what you need as far as draw length and poundage and them start looking for a good used rig you can find last year's models for a good deal if you look around
