Default New to bowhunting and need...

your advice on fitting. I recently visited my local dealer and played around with a couple of bows. I was mainly looking to see what draw length and weight I will need in a bow. My draw is 29 1/2" but I am not really sure what to do regarding the weight. The most comfortable draw was a bow they had set up at 55#'s. I was able to draw a 60# but it was noticably more difficult and I would imagine only being able to draw it 10 or 15 times before getting fatigued. The 70#, forget about it! Anyway, the dealer suggested that I go with a 70# bow because he can back it down to 58# or 59# without any difficulty and this leaves me room to grow as I practice. What do you guys think? Should I go with a 70# rig and back it off or should I get a 60# back it down to 55#'s and work up to a 63# max? If the bow has an impact on your answer then I am looking at parallel cam bow probably form Bowtech or Mathews. I know newbie questions are a pain but your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys!
