>Draw weight to start with?#25 lbs, even if you are /fit/ you probably haven't worked your rotator cuff muscles the same way they are used in archery
>How to determine my draw length?go to your local archery shop they will help you measure. Much better than DIY and getting it wrong because you don't have proper form yet
>Benefits and drawbacks to a Traditional or Compound Bow? (Plz dont turn into a flame war...)unless you plan on hunting, get a trad bow first, they're cheaper and easier to maintain
>Differences in Arrow Types?get carbon field tips
Best starter bow is Samick Sage
>Cheap at $130>Limbs go from #25 (beginner) to #60 (take down an elk)Start with the #25 limbs, after a month of practice with proper form, move up to #35, then another couple months after that move up to #45. #45-#50 range is the normal deer hunting draw weight and more than enough for what you'll ever need.
