as 1/2 asked,
how old are you and have experience with other bows?
as eager as 1 is to get in the field,
2 weeks is not enough time to practice with a bow and be good enough to ethically take a deer,
higher poundage has its advantages , especially at longer distances,
but there is also advantages to lower poundage,
Smoother draws, more practice before you get shaky, can hold the bow at full draw on the target longer
my bow is 60-70#
have it set at 60#, and prefer my brothers 55# bow.
i can draw smoothly at 70#, without reaching for the sky
but when practicing get shaky very quickly, after just a few rounds,
and at 70# there are times where even that first draw seems tight,
and can lose the draw and have to reset, wouldnt want to risk having that happen in the field
usually because for whatever reason, at that specific moment muscles to tight,
