Shoot the bow you got and figure out how much you like archery. Then if you feel the need to perfect things go out to every shop and shoot every bow on the wall that somewhat suits what you want in a bow. Then go to another shop and do the same, sooner or later you will shoot a bow that you must have. It feels good, catches your eye, and you believe that you shoot it well, or at least better than others.
Allot of guys are partial to certain companies (myself included) and will throw all kinds of brands at you. But at the end of the day you gotta shoot it not them or me.
I shoot Mathews, they look great, shoot great, and have allot of other things that appeal to me, and one of the best warranties around plus you can always order parts for them even after they discontinue a model. All the above is what sold me. Before that I shot PSE also a great bow, G5 which were ok, and also had a bear or two.
As far as high dollar rigs shooting better than others? Yes BUT no, as a beginner shooter, chances are your not gonna notice the difference a few hundred dollars makes. Once you learn to be consistent and start shooting tight groups, I would recommend a Higher Dollar rig if you plan to compete with the big guys.
Set some reasonable goals tho, if all you want to do is hunt, buy a stack of pie plates and learn to put every arrow you shoot into them. Thus will tell you your effective range, most people I have seen shoot should never pass 40 yards. Allot will tell you there's is further but they don't know that bowhunting is not about how far you can shoot em but is about how close you can get em. Your new bow, is more than capable of shooting pie plates.
Enjoy and welcome to the passion a bunch of us share. If you ever have any questions don't be afraid to ask
