Default RE: Buying a new bow

ORIGINAL: BobCo19-65

I'd also say to stay in the 55 pound range. With a heavy arrow and a Cut on Contact Broadhead, it will be just fine. After you get good with that weight, maybe move up. But I don't think you will need it unless you are going after moose, even then 60#'s would be enough.
Ok then...I didn't realize that 60#'s and over would be putting me into moose territory; I'm just interested in whitetails for now so 55 should be plenty.

I'm on my own when it comes to recurves/traditional hunting so my knowledge is sorely lacking. I've never even gone bowhunting before so this year I'm working hard towards making it happen. (I would also like to pick up a T/C Hawken and go out for the muzzleloading season but that's for another forum .) I appreciate the help.
