RE: New to Bows
Tough questions...
I just bought my first bow. I chose a Martin Saber. It was $249.00 at Sportsmans Warehouse. I chose it due to a shoter ATA and a brace height of 8". I read alot of info on Archery Talk as well as here and for the money I am quite pleased. I still had money left for a site, rest, quiver, stableizer. It is going to be tough to get everything for $350.00 because you still need a case and arrows to get started and if you have no range to go shoot at then a target.

to be completely honest, you need to go to like a sports superstore that has a range and shoot anything and everything in your price range, 1 little hint when it comes to archery equipment and accesories the saying " you get what you pay for" comes to mind. if you have to wait the extra week or even a month to be able to afford the accesories that you like and that you want its well worth the wait, dont go cheap when in comes to things like your sight your release, your arrows and broadheads, i mean you dont have to spend thousands to get a decent rig but you definetly wanna do the research and shoot as many as possible and read all the reviews that you can, you couldnt ask for a better site to ask questions than here...good luck.
