I started with a PSE Nove when i was 15 last year, and for a $250 bow, it was a good bow. It shot nice and the draw wieght was adjustable between 50-60 lbs. It was a little short for me so i had to sell it, but i hope to get another soon.

I was in your situation quite a few years back and I decided to save and wait. I saved about 1200 and went and bought the best bow I could get my mitts on. That is including all the accessories for the bow. It was worth it. I was able to shoot tighter groups at way fast speeds. The bow was more forgiving and a blast to shoot. It was may more accurate and it held its value better when i wanted an upgrade to another bow. I shoot a Hoyt now and it is by far the nicest bow I have ever laid my hands on! It is the Vectrix and it is a beast!!!! A nice bow is a thing of beauty and technology is so high right now, you could get a bow and shoot it for years and years and still have a really advanced and well built bow. But 1200 or more is a lot of money to put into a bow especially at 16. So if you want a good bow, but don’t want to break the bank, check out all the big brand names. These are all the ones I would consider buying. The Fred Bear Truth, I think it is, was awarded the best bow for your buck by all sorts of magazines and people in the industry. Good luck and I hope this helps!

Go to your local archery shop and tell the guys what type of shooting you do and what you are hopeing to do in the future with your shooting……….target…………..hunting………..compteition…..etc.

First of all, what kind and style of shooting do you want to pursue? You’ve been shooting a traditional recurve (I’m guessing you mean a one-piece recurve). Where do you want to go with your archery?
Get a Bowtech they’re awesome but check it out.
