Hi again,

I beleieve that you have perhaps not understood some of the advice offered by most of the guys and gals out there.

As a beginner (like me) the need to upgrade to more advanced limbs will almost certainly be a necessity later on if progress is to be made.

The initial outlay at lower cost can therefore be beneficial long term, but to be fair, the beginner could buy the very best riser to start with and retain that, just switching limbs and possibly other equipment.... an option I have already considered, pondered and re-thought. ( Nexus is still an option though)

Before I have even started to look at specific equipment to spend the dosh on, other archers have helped me to understand (partlly) that it may be a wast of money going for the very best to start with as the resale on that when you do change will not be good.

From the short time I have been involved, I am understanding that the other, more experianced archers are trying to help and have all been in the same position as ourselves.

By the time you/we have been through your beginners course, you/we may have changed our ideas slightly and strarted looking at the - not second best- but the best to start with.

Have a good day!

Malcolm
