How much difference is there for a beginner between something like the Polaris and perhaps a KAP WINSTAR II and associated limbs.
I'm aware there will be a difference but what is it and will it be noticable for the first 6months-year of me shooting?

Hi there,
The only advice I can give you is try things out at the shop, and decide what feels right. I tried cheap and expensive, and actually preferred the cheap for feel, and got it.
I've not tried any wooden stuff aside from our club trainer bow, but the winstar II is a great first riser, you may have read or seen me going on about how happy I am with mine.
I would say to wait a little while longer if you want to get a bow and some arrows for that strength bow. There are lots of little bits to put on a bow that soon pile up and push the budget.
the cheapest bows out there will soon be outgrown, and after a while you'll want something else, so if you have the option in the mean time to use club equipment and save up a little more, I'd advise to do that.
Hope that helps!
