Thanks. Still haven't bought my bow but I'm keeping my research up. I've decided on the Bear Montana. Aside from not being a takedown to increase the weight of the limbs later on I'm told it's a much better bow for only about $100CAD more. Shops also recommended that since I have a longer draw length at 29-30" and I'm a fairly big guy that buying a #45 or a #50 bow would be best even as a more beginner shooter. That way I won't "outgrow" the bow as fast and with the proper arrow setup it should still have significant energy to take down larger game such as Whitetail. The only game that I would actually consider buying a bigger bow for is Moose. Which have just as high of a population as whitetail in my area. But I've also heard of lots of guys hunting bull moose with #50 longbows. What's your guys/girls take on it?
