archery??? what type of bow i should get?HELP!!!!!?

Ok Im going to give you list of my differant physical traits and i want you to tell me what type of bow and arrow i should get….
*5′4
*13 years old
*130 lbs
*right eye and right hand dominant
*first bow
*my $ range for the bow is 200-300 I prefer 300$
* I have a pretty strong right arm
* I live in Nc
*I have Bass Pro Shop, Dicks, Neuse sport shop, wal mart, and i think a Cabelas outdoor shop around my area.
*I prefer a recurve bow, but if you think a compact bow, shortbow, or longbow is a better idea ill go with it.

I would go to a store that has several to choose from and ask for a salesman that shoots what your looking for (recurve). They should be able to give you some pointers. If a recurve is what you want, thats what you need to get. They take a lot more practice to get good, but its not a bad thing.

I got one last yr a cabelas in KC, KS and had a helpful salesman. He shoots recurve himself.

As for the specifics, youll probably need to start no heavier than 40#. Thats where most bows start as thats probably the lightest weight you can use to hunt w/. If you plan on hunting, check your state regulations for specifics.

PSE archery makes a model called Impala. It costs less than $200 by itself. Youll also need either a tab or glove for release, arrows w/ real type feathers, and an arm gaurd. By the time you get set up, youll be in the $300 range.

You might also look into a arm strengthener if you dont feel you can pull back the weight. With a recurve, you pull the whole weight. w/ a compound, there is a let off that relieves a lot of the weight past a certain point.

Good Luck!
