Been wanting to get back into archery for a long while now..
Now that everything has Finally settled down a bit, I'm able to think about the hobby again.

Had experience with traditional bows when I was a kid and used some of the rental single cam compound bows several years back.

I think I'm ready to step up to the real deal. So, does anyone here have experience or recommendations on what bows to get? Mostly will be shooting paper targets and possible 3D for starters.
I'm definitely looking to get a dual cam bow.

 

I'm currently eyeing this bow >

I did splurge alittle and got new/upgraded:
peep sight, roller bearing cable guide, and a stabilizer
(the bow came with basic/cheaper versions of all those items in the package... I felt it could be better hence the upgrades)

***At it's current config, the bow weighs in at 4 lbs 9.6 oz
