what is a good beginner bow?

Go with the Mathews "Genesis." It's a compound bow made for any and all beginners. It is a quality product that can be passed along to others after you move up to a more powerful and permanent make or model. Plus, it comes in 6 Hot colors.

If this is what you are looking for read more about it and other models on the Mathews web-site. The address is listed below in the "source" section.

Happy shooting, it's an exciting, challenging, and fun sport to get into.

I like the PSE bows (they now own Browning too) They are a reasonably priced quality bow, they make both target and hunting bows. I use a Nova (left hand) My cousin has the "Deer Hunter", my husband shoots the Vengeance and my son uses the Bandit. Everyone but my son has killed a deer and turkey, the secrect is practice, practice, practice with well tuned bow.

Dlcks Sporting Goods has some beginner bows for about $50. Banshee or something. My wife has one.

The Browning Micro Midas 4. Browning bows are decent and fairly priced.

I bought my wife the mathews mission menace and she loves it. the good thing bout it is the draw length is so adjustable and the weight is too. It will grow with you for years to come and being that mathews makes it it will last a life time. I shoot comp and hunt hard and I will never shoot nothing but a mathews
