"Beginners" question

[Mulie.stalker]

Lately i have been reading reviews on various speed bows,
While most of the reviews support the bow it is mentioned these are not a "beginners bow",
In what criteria is it considered as a beginners bow or not?
Are they just comparing smoothness of draw or what other factors determine this?
Help is much appreciated

brace height...that is where most "speed Bows" get the speed from...

as a beginner you want the most forgiving bow you can find..

7" or more brace height is what you should be lookign for

whatever, shoot what feels right. some people have an easier time with short brace heights then others.

just shoot what feels good. they all kill if shot right.

the question is simple enough and was answered correctly. a shorter brace height is easier to shoot when you have a little experience with all the little details of shooting that can be summed up as "form". for a guy who has never touched a bow, it will be a virtual guarantee that he will shoot a bow with a longer brace height better than a short one.
