Actually, buying from the internet is quite reliable, if you have a good dealer. For example, my bow is from Martin Archery, bought online, and it arrived in perfect condition - without a doubt it has become my favourite bow. If you can, find a website where you can calculate your draw length and recommended draw weight, or even better, find a local archery range to get a few shots off. A bow is part of you, in a way, in that you need to find one that fits you like an extension of your own body. Therefore, if you buy online, do your homework.
