I don't understand what you want to buy a bow for, if you don't know how to use one in the first place ??!?? <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Or maybe you already joined an archery club, where you can lend one. And now you want to buy your own. But then, there should be people at your club, knowledgeable enough to help you make your choice....

If you have never used a bow, first thing is to join a club and learn !
You don"t buy a bow because of its color or looks ! Its size/characteristics have to be related to your own physical characteristics/abilities, which will change after a year (at least a few months..) of practising archery.
That's why in my club, we warn people against buying a bow immediatly. At the end of their first shooting season, we then help them making a choice...

And target shooting is not hunting ..... it's (almost ...) a completly different training ....
