Default newbie questions....

ive just purchased my first bow. i chose the hoyt trykon xl. i feel that im a pretty good shot for a beginner. i spent an afternoon shooting my friends bow, for the 1st time in 15yrs., and shot very tight groups. the only worry i have about my bow is the draw weight. i dont want to sound weak, but i can very comfortably pull back 52#'s (the weight on my friends bow). my new bow is rated 60#-70#'s. the dealer set it at 55# and said it would still be ok even though its rated higher. i guess they feel that with some continuous practice before the season i will work my way up to 60??? even the 55# is a little tough right now..... anyways.... i guess my question is, did i make a good bow choice? is it ok to go with the higher weight bow and draw it down to 55# (in hopes that i will be increasing the weight soon)? or any other suggestions would be great!!!! also, would i be better off exchanging for a 50-60#?
thanks,
scott
