Welcome to the site.

What part of Mass are you from? I was born and brought up in Springfield.

Give us a price range.

Do you want an older style sidelock, or a modern inline?

The inline will be more user friendly for someone new.

$200 is about all I can do right now.
Might have to get a used one.

Used will get you a better gun. You have a few options new. Some will recommend the CVA Wolf. They sell for under $200. I'd rather see you get a TC gun. The TC Impact is a nice gun to start off with, but it's $250.

See what the other guys say here. They might have some used guns for sale. Check the classified section here too.

Welcome. I just puchased a Knight Vision from The Sportsmans Guide. They are offering free shipping or $20.00 off coupons right now. I can't tell you how good it shoots because it's in the mail and on it's way to me. But I haven't read any bad reviews on it. The lowest cost model without a scope is $169.97 before any discounts or shipping.

Thanks,
I will check out TC and Knight Vision.
Problem is that Sportsmans Guide will not ship to Massachusetts.
Guns or Broad heads and most Knives.
