TBone I recently started Archery hunting. I went to Reedy's Archery in Middleboro Mass, they are awsome there. I went down the first night, and the guy had me shooting for an hour. I found out what bows were in my budget, and went home to mull it all over. I went back 2 days later and bought a Hoyt Ultrasport. The kid spent the better part of an hour setting it up for me. This included adjusting the draw lenth, and weight. Placing the nock, and adjusting the peep. We then shot the bow, and adjusted the sights, this took about another 30 minutes or so. We then shot the bow for an hour making sure I was using correct form, and a consistant anchor point.

You will not get this kind of service from a big sporting goods store. They will sell you the bow and send you on your way, then you will have to figure it all out for yourself.
The bow I bought was about 350-400 with a drop away rest, quiver and pin site. I had to buy a release, and arrows. I got Beeman carbon arrows, they were about 60 / doz. I also bought a bow case. All said and done I spent between 500 and 600. Also Reedy's has layaway, you pick out your bow they get you all set up, and you can go down and shoot it anytime you want until you pay it off.
