so what did you buy?

Sanlida Dragon x8.... based on a lot of YouTube videos I watched people thought it was a great, cheap, beginner bow to get into the sport. I went down to Hunting & Fishing and tried a Swift CC3 that was selling for $500 and a PSE Stinger ATK that was $1150 and I couldn't really tell the difference between them, they both looked good and felt the same since I'm a complete novice and don't know what to look/feel for. I was about the just buy the Swift since it was actually cheaper than the Sanlida but couldn't find any reviews on it and decided against it.

Now while I wait for the bow to arrive I've just been going on scouting trips to figure out where I would even be able to hunt.
