Thread: Bow Advice

+1 for Advanced Archery.
I am in the South Island, worked out my draw length and they set up everything I needed to get going. It is not an expensive setup (less than $1000 for bow, quiver, arrows and release aid) but enough to get me out shooting at stuff. I agree with your "buy once, cry once" but archery and bows are a very complex and until you have a bit of experience shooting one I think it is difficult to know exactly what would suit you best in the long term. One thing not to skimp on though is a good release aid. It is the most important part of getting a good shot away and you can keep it through a succession of bows. My 2c.
