A friend went to Custom Built Archery for her first set up and I can say I was fairly impressed with how they worked with her. I went to quicks, they didn’t have the bow I wanted and so I had to go online. Bowsports provided the bow (sans instructions) although there appeared to be a basic set up with regards the rest and nocking points were in the right place. I then returned to Quicks for arrows.

I got KAP limbs at 32lb which were perfect I believe for the beginner in terms of smoothness. However I’m very jealous of the free upgrade to SF SHC limbs my friend got at CBA! I have since swapped to go up poundage with a friend who needed to go down. Which worked nicely as it's starting to get him back in the game! I also got the Samick Agulla riser. This was far from a mistake for me however I would not suggest it to many people. The grip cannot be changed and has a nasty seam right down the middle that cuts and rubs your hand and it only has a button hole not a button hole and rest hole thingy. Get one with two holes like the Samick Athlete is something I’d suggest. The SF is also a very nice riser. I’d suggest a Shibuya DX button as it’s fairly cheap but of good quality.

I got X7 Arrows. If I were you I’d get XX75s. X7 are an excellent arrow but XX75s are inexpensive and fly much better than an X7 at 80yds. Perfect for the beginner. Make sure they’re spined right and depending on how ready your income make sure there’s a little extra length to them.

Other than that I’d just say wait. Wait until you have consistant technique.
