I finished my beginners course on the Tuesday, and went shopping to Eastcote House on the following Saturday!!!! (That was about 18 months ago...)

I opted for the following:
Hoyt Eclipse riser (close call between that & SF)
KAP Challenger limbs - 32# 70"
Arten Europa sight
Shibuya DX Button
Easton xx75 arrows (2016) - uncut!!!
Petron Magnetic wrap-around rest

First extra purchase was a long rod. Then in May, I changed to Carbon Impact arrows for outdoor use.

In August I upgraded the limbs to KAP Winstorm Carbons 36#, then followed shortly after by the purchase of some short rods & extender. Most recent change was the purchase of some W&W Synerzy limbs 38#. That will probably be me....not much else to get/change. I am now very happy with my setup.

With things like limbs, don't go for top of the range too quickly - it will only cost you more money in the long run. Working through a few cheaper set is definately the way to go. Arrows, are kinda similar. You might be luck in that if you change limbs, the arrows still fly well. However, that isn't always the case.
