Thanks again guys, after all the advice here, I decided to go with a 40# Samick Sage. The Sage was suggested here and after research, really liked what I read. I went with the 40# because my #1 goal was fun target shooting, hunting was secondary and I was originally going to stick with the compound bow season. Night Wing was the first to say low poundage was ok and after some research, it sounds like a 40# bow with sharp 2 blade heads put in the right spot is very efficiant. I also have a 29" draw so I should be pulling 43# if I do in fact decide to hunt with it.

Now, I'm used to an arrow rest with the compound. Any opinions in shooting off the window to using a plunger rest? I read arrows should be about an 1" longer than draw, so 30" for me is what I was looking at but what spine/weight etc? Same with field tips, 85gr since the poundage is low? Still doing a lot of research but any info helps! Thanks
