Connor,

I’ve never shot/touched the Halon so I can’t speak about that bow.  Raleigh (my daughter) started with a bow from Quest (http://www.questbowhunting.com/).  She’s tagged two bucks with it and I enjoy shooting it!  I believe you can purchase a great Quest bow for about 1/2 the price of the Halon and save plenty of money for other gear.  

Enjoy creation,
