[QUOTE="bigcountryok, post: 1317334, member: 4368"] I don't know much about High Country Bows. I know you can't go wrong with Hoyt, Mathews, or PSE. Best thing to do is to go to a reputable archery shop and have them set you up. H&H and Oklahoma Archery are both good. I know there are others in the area too, but can't remember their names. You won't be happy if the bow doesn't fit properly. A couple of tips 1) Go light, even if it feels easy to pull go lighter. Shooting the bow should be fun. Heavy bows will wear you out and hurt accuracy. Since this is your first I wouldn't go over 60lbs (enough to take anything in North America) and would really start out at 50lbs. 2) Go shooting with someone who is experienced. Watch listen and learn. 3) Start out practicing close 10yrds and work your way back. Get your form down first. 4) Practice quality over quantity. Don't shoot a hundred arrows in one day. Shoot 20-30 and make each one count with PERFECT form. If you catch yourself getting worn out stop and come back tomorrow, but practice as often as possible. 5) After you get good, practice at all ranges. Its the buck at 5 yards that will rattle your nerves and cause you to miss. 6) Have fun!!!! [/QUOTE]
