Beginner bow recommendations

[jaime1982]

OK so im ready to take the plunge into the darkside LOL and looking for recommendations on a good beginner bow. Im sure yall have heard this a million times but i need something that will fit my needs for size and experience. In not a big feller 5'4 135lbish. Ive been looking online and have read reviews on the Infinite Edge for about 350.00. While im kinda a cheapo Im ok with buying a mid range priced bow but not a really expensive one as I still have other rifle projects going at the same time and im not putting the boomsticks down either. Im ready for a new challenge. Here is the Infinite edge from Amazon with price. Whats the GS have to say?? Thanks in advance!

Ive heard good things about that bow. My son has the diamond razor edge and it's a great starter bow.

On the right hand side there is a help section that has a TON of information on choosing a bow and arrows. Almost as good as the info you can find on the Green Screen. They also have a lot of package deals that include bow, sight, rest, stab, sling, broadheads, case, quiver, arrows the whole nine yards and won't break the bank. They will also work with you on the phone to make sure you get set up right.

Caint go wrong with the diamond as a begginer bow my sister started out on the razor edge and still shoots one.... Mission makes the craze and i hear great things about it as well... Pse makes one as well my sugestion is go to a shop and shoot em and see which on e feels better to you dont go off wht the internet says

Advice would be to get one from a pro shop. They carry that bow. Get setup right make some good contacts so incase anything happens you can always go back and talk to them face to face.

most bows bought off the internet are not covered under warranty,,, do so at your own risk.... if you get a bad bow or misslead how will you return the bow?

and for the price difference you will get a lot better deal from a pro shop, which would probably include setting the bow up correctly, instruction, and fitting the bow to you along with knowledge of the correct arrows, vanes tips, broadheads, releases,and possible some range time..... and pro shops exclude most cabelas bass pro and academy stores...

Cool, Im not looking to purchase through the internet just getting the feel of what i need to look for. I will definitely be purchasing local so I can get out fitted right and support a local company. If finding a bow is as hard as finding clothes im in for a lot of work!

I just started shooting in March of this year, and bought from West Houston Archery. I highly recommend buying from a pro shop. I've been back several times for advice, tuning, etc... and they have always been happy to help me. I think Santa Fe Archery is close to you, and I've heard good things about them. They post lots of good videos for newbs on YouTube too.

I'd look into the PSE Chaos, it's what I started my ex-girlfriend on and it was a great little bow. We chose it over the diamond. Sante Fe is a nice bow shop and are pretty helpful.

The Infinite Edge is an outstanding bow. I bought one for my son,and it is better than my bow,if I didn't have to have a bow maxed out at 60#, I would get me one too ! These bows are light ,easy to set-up ,and adjust . Just get you one, you won't be dissappointed.
