total beginners can get whatever they want... it is their money... what is the mid level line now, was the top end a few years ago, so really, they can't be that bad. with that said, just don't get a 200 dollar stick thinking it will make you shoot great right away. also, because you are just starting out and testing what works for you, it just doesn't make sense to buy a 200+ dollar twig just to find something else you like a few months later.
