Start with recurve, traditional is best;)
I found a good one at Cabelas Bargain Cave. Sight was broken, but easy to replace.
Buy a used one on ebay.IU buy and sell archery equipment all the on ebay there are some good deals.Always talk to the seller first make sure you know your draw length and how many lbs. you want to pull.Make sure you don’t buy old product 7 or 8 years is to old try to find something 3 to 5 years old , you can also try archery talk.com I have good luck there too.
Here are the bows that I consider to be the absolute best in quality and customer satisfaction.
1st place- Hoyt and Matthers- tied
2nd place Bow Tech.
3rd place- Darton
4th place- PSE
5th place- Martin
6th place- Bear
All of these are great for hunting, and even target shooting. And you should be able to get them in camo, and I know Mathews have camo.
Good luck with your bow!
The best place I can tell you to buy a bow is archery talk. Just go to google and search ”archery talk classifieds” I have bought multiple bow from there and have never had any issues. Most of the bows are sold bare but some people sell them as packages also. If you do decide to purchase one, you need to take it to your local archery pro shop. When I say archery shop I dont mean dicks sporting goods or even cabelas, in my opinion they shouldnt even be aloud to work on or sell bows becuase 99% the ”expert” working on your bow has no training other than reading a book. When you take to a shop just say that you are new to the sport and they will get your set up and ready to go. I cannot stress this enough, IF YOU BOW A BOW WITH A SIGHT ON IT YOU HAVE TO SIGHT IT IN. I cannot tell you how many people I have seen just buy a bow and thing it dead accurate without any tunning or sighting. Also, it is not a good idea to get the bow and go hunting right away with it. You need time to practice and get to know your gear. I good rule of thumb I tell people is, do not go hunting with your bow until you can put 4/4 arrows in a pie tin at 30 yards.
