540 for a 26 pound bow?
Sure, you have accessories, but I do t think it should have been that much.
Now, I'm also assuming its a recurve shortbow, which HAS its perks, but if you really want to learn, I'd get a Modern-Traditional bow (Arms are detachable and can be switched for stronger limbs, but is a traditional style, usually recurve)
Just dont expect to be able to hunt anything besides small game.
EDIT: Saw the pic again and noticed that the limbs can be changed for higher poundage if I'm correct. Though I still stand by when I say that it was overpriced.
I'll take a pic of my bow when I'm home.
