More important than which brand you get is what you're comfortable with. shoot as many as you can (if possible) before deciding in a specific model. Find a bow with plenty of brace height (at least 7 inches, more is better). Most bow companies make cam modules that will change the draw length, and possibly the let-off for their solo-cam models. You'll want string silencers and limb dampeners (such as Limb Savers or Tunerz). A good stabilizer will help as well. As for arrows, I prefer carbon shafts, but that's my personal preference. I use GoldTips, but there are plenty out there that will suffice. For hunting, I either use Spitfire expandable broadheads or Rocket Ultimate Steel fixed blade heads. Once again, there are a lot of broadheads that will do, so find one you like.
