Shrike: the best adviceI can give you is to go to an archery shop.I bought mine at a sporting goods store.Only one guy knew anything about bows and when he's not there I can't get help.There are 2 pro shops here in Calgary Jim Bows Archery formerly of Edmonton and Archery Center.You can pick a bow off the wall and shoot it at JimBows and get the feel for it.IMHO you should buy the best outfit you can afford,because if you start at entry level and find you like it and want to trade up you still have to shell out for it.<P>Do you ever hunt the zones around Rocky Mtn.House 326,324? Istill haven't hunted up in the Nordegg area and I hear it,super elk country.I used to hunt 420 until it got turned into a draw zone for 6 point bulls.Seen some huge freakin bull moose in there but wouldn,t want to pack one out,that country is staight up both ways.<P>later, mike
