[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16291836, member: 181885"] Can't speak on the hunting side, but when it comes to bows I'm decent. Find a nearby archery range that lets you rent and/or test prior to buying. It is not "one size fits all." Also, invest in a good reusable target. Do not cheap out. We have a "Black Block" target that has been abused for almost 7 years. I've owned several Bear bows, which I find to be decent. PSE and Matthews sell excellent bows as well. You don't have to spend a fortune though, best to get something mid-range, learn, practice, and then upgrade later if you enjoy it. If you happen to go with a crossbow, which has its own perks, you should also check out some of the pneumatic offerings they have these days. I've owned two high-end crossbows, and it's a workout. Cranks are annoying. Rope Cocking devices are fine, if you have them set to the proper height (pre-load at least 2" or you'll trash your back!). Or, if you get sick of that, leather gloves are great for drawing by hand. I had a CE Axon Intercept 175lb that I would draw by hand- couldn't do it without leather gloves or it'd slice the absolute hell out of me. [/QUOTE]
