RE: Want a starter bow
I just got into deer hunting this year and didn't want to spend a lot of $$$. I went with a Parker Wildfire(27in draw, 70lb draw, 80% let-off, wisker biscuit rest, limb saver string leaches and limb vibration dampners and a quiver). I got it a 1/2 dozen arrows, 3 G5 montech 100g broadheads & a Fletcher 44cal release. All for under $500. I didn't like the sight that came with the setup so I changed that out. Everything else from the factory. I took it and tuned it right before the season and it took about 15 min and about 4 adjustments and my broadheads were impacting at the same spot as my field points. For the money I really like this bow.

I was shooting a Mission bow before I hurt my hand. Prior to the Mission , I shot a Ben Pearson Spoiler. I was pretty accurate with it. The package was around $350. All I needed was arrows and a release. I added some Limbsaver stuff . Out the door for around $460. Youy should go to a shop and shoot as many as you can I your price range. Make you decision from that and not what a stranger tells you. Good luck. Let us know what you get.
