[QUOTE="eddie c, post: 548263, member: 972"] first thing i would do is find someone in your area did shoots trad. hands on help and advise is extremely helpful. you can get the same advise online but unless your are sure you know what you are being told, it is easy to do it slightly wrong and mess up. do some research on the bows before you buy one. try it out first if possible. there are some great used bows out there for the same or close to the same price as some so-so new starter bows. set yourself a dollar amount on how much you want to spend on a bow and go from there. dont apply compound setup principles to trad bows, 2 different styles of bows, different setups. I made that mistake the first year I tried trad and drove myself nuts. find a local 3D trad shoot. most folks at these shoots will help new shooters. dont overbow yourself with poundage. there is no let-off. 20#s lighter than your compound is a good starting point. and as you get older, that lighter poundage is better on your joints.
