I want to get into archery. Which compound bow would work best for me?

I really want to get into archery and bow hunting but I get intimidated by all of the options for compound bows and their accessories. Especially because they can all be very expensive. So which compound bows do you recommend I try? Here's some useful info about my situation:

I am looking for a compound bow
I want to target shoot and potentially hunt big game (primarily deer and elk)
My budget is anywhere from $1000 to $1600. Maybe more if it would be worth the extra investment.
I am a 6 foot male
My draw weight is anywhere from 60 to 80 pounds last I remember

I know that picking the right bow is a personal thing and that the best way to find one you like is to actually try shooting one. I'm just looking for recommendations that would help me narrow my search. I appreciate any and all responses!

Generally, firearms are the preferred weapons among people who seek to prepare themselves for these events. I have owned and used a wide variety of firearms over many years and own several right now. If I had to pick one weapon to serve as a primary weapon (a full-size weapon intended to be used offensively, such as for hunting, and carried in the hand or by sling as opposed to a secondary weapon, which is complimentary, used defensively and carried on-person and possibly concealed, such as a handgun) I just might prefer my ILF recurve over any kind of rifle or shotgun.

A guide to dealing with target panic

I wanted to make a contribution to the useful copy pastas/reference guides, so here's an unofficial guide to target panic. It used to be that target panic was the affliction that must not be named. It was seen as something unescapable, something that could very well end an archer's career. Fortunately, we now have a much better understanding of what target panic is and how we can treat it. This has made it much easier to discuss it. Which is a very good thing, because target panic is common. If you're reading this, you probably have (had) it yourself or know someone who has it. What is target panic? Target panic is basically your brain going on auto-pilot. A very dumb auto-pilot. There are two basic flavours: The premature release type. You go through your shot process as usually, but before you reach anchor your body is like RELEASE! LOOSE! LET THAT ARROW FLY! And whoosh goes your arrow, towards a spot it wasn't supposed to go. The can't release type. You&#
