There is no such thing, If your going to shoot a bow get it set up right for you. Don't start with a piece of junk. YOUR WASTING MONEY! Do it right the first time and it will pay off big time. Talk to someone about your draw length, arrow length, broad head type, type of sights that you like and are comfortable with. There are so many factors to consider instead of buying a bow right off the shelf and trying to use to it when its not what you need or feel right to you. And believe me buying a cheaper bow thats not suited to you will be nothing but a pain ,then you are left going and buying what you really needed to start with. It will be good friend to ya for a long time! And there is nothing wrong with going in a store and checking them out talking to someone and then shop around till you find it cheaper somewhere else. Good luck and ENJOY!

Take a look at Genesis. They are excellent inexpensive compound bows. I purchased one at Christmas as a gift, and I have as much fun with it as she does! Try Cabela's, about $200 for a kit.

First how old is the beginner? Male or Female? Are you wanting to shoot compound or Traditional? Diamond makes a good one with most items included on the bow and has a program that the bow can move up with the growth of the individual if starting as a youth. Parker and Bear are also good and in a good price range.
