yep, 45 pounder will be plenty enough to get you hooked and put meat in the freezer.

I used to shoot compounds 70 -80 lbs. Now shooting trad bows from 35-58 pounds. I get the best training from the 35 pounder. smooth draw, full anchor smooth release etc etc. Everyday bow is 51 pounds and is plenty fast. Twice around a 3D course and I'm toast.

Have fun !
