What's the outdoor boards recommendations? I am looking for something not to expenive but if I ultimately like it, I can use the bow for a while before I need to possibly upgrade.

If you like bowhunting you'll want to upgrade fairly quickly. Go to an archery shop and shoot some of their bows. Once you find something you like you can look for a used bow. My last two bows have come from the classifieds on ArcheryTalk.

This.
I would suggest finding a used bow already rigged out for a start off bow. You should be able to find a top of the line bow from a few years back for a good price.

I have a PSE Infinity Thunderbolt, an old bow, that I will sell to you for pretty cheap. Look up info on it and see if it's something you'd be interested in starting with.

I'm not sure how low end you want to go, but I set about a $1k budget last year and picked up a Mission by Mathews (Mathew's budget brand). I think I paid 399 or 499 for just the bow and then spent about 400 or 500 on quality accessories.
I bought the bow with the intention of upgrading to a Mathews or Hoyt this year as my skill increased and using the same accessories. I've enjoyed the Mission so much that I don't see any reason to upgrade for a while.
One of the main features I looked for was a bow that was adjustable from 50-70 lbs as I gained more strength.
With that being said, I've had several friends go the used bow route and they've really saved a ton of money.
