Junk. Try searching craigslist for "crossbow" Look for a compound instead of a re-curve. PSE makes a decent beginner bow, and I have seen good prices on Barnetts as well.
Tazz is right on the money there. The only time I ever got to let an arrow fly I was in my tree, and the gob was makin sweet love to my decoy. Every other time they was gone before I could draw.
