you haven`t bow hunted before or had any experience with them,...That`s not a bad thing,.it`s a starting point.

Try getting into the whole Archery thing easy,....Compund bows are more then just puttin a arrow on the string and pullin it back and lettin it fly.
It takes alot,.ALOT of practice to shoot decent at 20 yds let alone tryin to get in the kill zone at 35 yds.

Crossbows give the new Archer the chance to get use to shooting ONCE,. and measuring their yardages,.by just looking,.judging yardages is the most important thing before you can even shoot a deer or any other game.

And seeing how a arrow flys slower then a bullet,.....you have to re-judge how you shoot,.and how far.

I think the basics should be your first priority,.then worry about what type of bow to get.
My suggestion is to go to a pawn shop or someplace real cheap and buy one and try it to see if you will even like it and want to take the time to stick with it.
Archery is the best !!!!!!So dont get me wrong,.......but I know alot of peeps that want to be the NUGE or Fred Bear ,.....and they go out and buy the biggest baddest bow on the market and try it for about a month or so,.then they get tired of tryin to find enough time to practice and get their technique down pat.
I am tellin ya ,.its more then just a toy its ADVENTURE and once you get into it and have succecd in taking something with it,........Well lets say,.you will probly not want to kill anything without it!!!!!!

It`s up to you,.......but that`s my suggestion,.....and opinion.

Later All
SAFE HUNTIN~
