Something like the Bowtech Fuel and Hoyt Ignite packages can be had for right around $500 and come with everything needed to get up and going except arrows and a release.

Bowetech Fuel

Hoyt Ignite

Or, you can get a smokin' deal right here in the classifieds. That 's what I would do, but I'm not you. There are two or three bows that are hunting ready in the classifieds right now.

head down to see Paul at Double G Archery in Georgetown; he will help you get exactly what you need.

My first bow setup was a Hoyt Charger. I told the shop I wanted a midrange bow and that's what I ended up with. It was a great bow and still would be shooting it if I hadn't won a NoCam.

Thanks @rat and @houstonHunter appreciate the info

Buy high end used.. Good way to started and save money. People like myself trade out bows every year or so..

Look in the classifieds on here and Archery Talk

My daughter got a PSE Stinger X ready to shoot with a drop away rest for under $500, it's a nice bow. Not the best, but a lot better than what I learned to bowhunt shooting. My son just replaced his 15 year old PSE with a Mission, it's a shooter too.

I'd advise going to an archery pro shop and avoiding the big box stores too. Have them include 5 lessons in the package price, re-start archery on the right foot with proper shooting form and technique.

I'll put another vote in for the mission ballistic, I shoot it and love it. You can also get it as a package from mission
