first of all - make sure you DO speak to a coach / experienced archer at your club before listening to any of us

as far as i can see your choice of gear seems pretty good as a first setup (although i dont know much about the limbs to be honest) - the eclipse is as good a riser as any in its price range (my wife shoots one so i have tried it) and the shibuya sight is a proven piece of kit - both riser and sight will last you a few sets of upgraded limbs i reckon

going to merlin is a good move IMHO - youll get TOP advice and attention but try to go 'off-peak' so you get more time with the guys there than if they were busy

a couple of other things spring to mind -

1 - dont go with too fixed an idea of what you want - ask the experts and try out as much as you can within your budget - you might find something like the winstar2 or SF riser feels better to you than the eclipse (personally i find the eclipse a little harsh feeling for me)

2 - make sure you think about arrows in your budget too - XX75s or X7s are cheap enough and will be OK for a first kit but still need to be paid for

hope that helps (only 18 months or so since i went through the whole process myself)
