RE: help with bow selection
Congratulations on choosing to get started this early, many shooters try to get set up for hunting a week before season. Notice I said shooters-not hunters. Assuming you want to shoot a release you can actually shoot a right handed bow left handed with a release. Awkward, but possible. What I'm getting at is you should go to a local shop and see what they have to try out. With a little help you could try several bows and get an idea as to which one to buy. Many shops sell different brands and you could at least get close to the draw weight and length you need in several models and brands.
