I personally prefer that short valley, forces you to be more consistent with your anchor point by pulling into the back of the wall the same each time. But it might not be the best for a beginner.

Id also agree with Valentine that most brand new bow hunters arent fit to be using the bows on the poundages that they are. KInda comical to see them making faces as they pull them back or take the bow up in the air and down to gain leverage... Even though todays bows are easier to pull than the hard hatchet cams of the early 90's...

I shoot 80+ lbs currently, but have shot for many years. Have shot bows for hunting as high as 100+. But I also work out avidly and can b.p. over 400 lb. so strength isnt exactly an issue.
