I have been doing archery for over 40 years and, yes I now shoot a compound. The best advice I could give you is do not, repeat, do not buy anything over the net or from some sports store. If you are near Darryl Reeks, go and see him. Explain what you want a compound for and heed his advice. It is so easy to end up with the wrong equipment and then find out it is useless for your purpose.
