re: Suggestions for a good place to buy a bow

If you know nothing definitely go to an Archery shop, you'll need to get draw length measured at the very least.

Buy used then you'll begin to know enough for the next purchase. Plus you won't take a real beating getting rid of the first purchase. You'll be surprised how much a difference it'll make, how varied the market is, and how many choices there are out there. Good luck - that's what I did and was glad - and I had fiance (no pics) who was an avid 3D tournament gal to help. (Yep, I had to learn fast)
