Go to a traditional shoot. You' ll be hooked on traditional. Folks will let you shoot their bows. See what you like. Buy a cheap 45-50lb used bow ($75 or so). Check eBay. Play with it for a while, go to some more shoots, then you' ll know what feels right for you. Then you might want to get a more expensive bow...

However, don' t get overbowed!!!! 50lbs will kill any deer with NO problem... and is much more fun to shoot than 60lbs!!

I shot 80lbs for a while with wheels (Many years ago!!).... I' m wiser now... I killed my deer this past season pulling about 44lbs from a 35 year old recurve.
