I would probably avoid the ebay route for your first bow unless you know exactly what you want. The Trykon is quite a heavy bow and the advert states that the draw length is not adjustable. I made the mistake of buying my first bow from Ebay, and my second. I then saw the light and went to a shop.

Like you I went straight onto Compound after my 6 weeks of lessons, and this means that you are still learning form etc. My draw length has increased from 26 1/4" to 27 1/2" in 18 mths. If you can get a bow that is adjustable with modules it will save you a lot of effort.

Don't discount Ebay as there are some bargins to be had, but for a first bow there are quite a few shops that keep a good second hand selection.

Good luck
