[QUOTE="pockets380, post: 678248, member: 30350"] I'm just really getting into bow hunting this year too. I tried it two years ago with a borrowed bow that didn't fit me really but I made it work:). Skipped bow season last year because of drawing a rifle elk tag. For fathers day this year I was able to go out and pick one out. I ended up getting the Bear legion in a package for $499.99 at Cabelas. They actually have the Bear mauler which is the next step up on sale right now for the same price. It's a really great bow.
