Forget about the xbow for now, you'll get much more satisfaction out of a compound bow. I don't know about Ohio but most states still don't allow xbows during archery season. I was also limited as to how much I could spend and my shoulders wouldn't let me pull these new faster bows very easily. I wound up buying a Diamond Justice, they're affordable and the cams are silky smooth. My bow set to 70# is much easier to draw than my buddy's Vectrix set at 60#. Although I've never shot them the Martin bows are also reasonably priced and they have a 15# draw range, at 15 your arm strength will grow quickly and this large range might allow you to get something with a little higher poundage and you'll have it longer before you outgrow it.
