The only advice I can give you is to go to your local pro shop and talk to the owner.
Ask to see and try all the diffrent bows he or she sells and then pick the one thats feels right for you.
Most shops will offer package deals that could save you some money and while your there you can have them make any adjustments and make sure your bow is tuned and ready for you to shoot.
Make sure you ask alot of questions draw length , wheight , arrows , fieldtip and broadhead grain wheight.

Good advice! There are so many great bows on the market, you want a local person to help you after the sale. I would shot, not 1 or 2 times, but many times with a least 3 or 4 different brand bows. Each bow co has its own feel. Good luck and let us know where you land

i agree with the others on that you should shoota few to see what feel right to you. they have given you very good advice. the only other thing i can say is that since you are fairly new, you might check out some of the Diamond bows. they are very good and if you don't have the cash flow to get one of the all mightly three, these will save you some green backs.
good luck with the sport...

well here in maryland left handed bow's are alot cheaper then right handed bow's my buddie bought the same bow as me but left handed an paid 150 dollars difference all in all he paid 300 dollars for a diamond rapture left handed whole set bow from basspro .. i think thats one of your better choices a diamond shoots great.. for the money u cant beat it. so look at that diamond or evern so go on ebay and look at second hand bow's i seen a few matthews switch backs left handed for 250+ they are really nice bow's to an like a few people on the forum had said look at a few different bow's i think i looked at 5 or 6 different bow's and i loved the diamond.. good luck an let us know what bow you went with good lucky next bow season
