Ive read these type or articles for decades, keep in mind people all over the world have built and used archery equipment for thousands of years,
and while theres constantly been improvements being made ,
I would suggest that a used bow in good condition,
you may find a decent bargain in a pawn shop or at a local archery range.
or bargain trader,
but get to know what your looking for don,t just look at price.
and a great deal of practice with good arrows goes a very long way towards allowing you to consistently hit your intended target,
and spending $400 plus on the newest bow available is NOT likely to make you an expert shot nearly as fast as finding a good quality bow,
several dozen good quality arrows and the minimal equipment required to replace fletching and a great deal of time practicing.
if you visit local archery ranges youll usually find guys willing to give a significant discount price on used or last few years model, un-sold bows
Id suggest looking at the longer 36" or longer axle to axle length bows,
in the 50 lb-70 lb, and 28"-30"or more if you can easily handle the longer draw,
draw length , range for serious hunting.
you can certainly find an excellent choice for well under $400 ,
theres no need to spend the $500-$1200 I see advertised as a great deal on the newest bows.
look over your options and try a few different bows
both re-curves and compound designs have merits
don,t ignore either choice
