Before you get what is essentially a youth grow-with-you bow like a Bear Cruzer G2, there are used bows that will suit an adult better. The brand I am partial to is Athens Archery. They have a transferable lifetime warranty on all Athens bows, unlike any other bow brand out there. Other brands will warranty a bow only to the original owner. Once it's sold as a used bow to another person, it is no longer under warranty. Athens doesn't do that. The warranty stays with the bow, regardless of who owns it. You can get a good 3 year old Athens for $400 if you look in the right place (mostly Facebook archery groups).
