Congratulations on your decision! I'm sure you'll love shooting trad.

I would really suggest not going with a 60# bow for your first. I'd say to stay around 45# with the intentions of perhaps or moving up in weight laterif you want. But you 'll have to let the muscles and form develop and it'll take a little while. Be careful not to start off with a bow that may set you up to fail. And remember, you'll be in a better position after you shoot for a while to determine exactly what you want in a bow. So your first bow very well may not be your longrun bow.

BTW, what is your draw with a compound? I'd expect to loose about 1-2" when switching. So you may or may not be pulling that particular bow to 60#'s.

Also consider buying a used bow. It should hold it's value if you decide to sell it after shooting for a while.
