I am a compound weenie - however I purchased a PSE OPTIMA for my 15 yr old daughter. It is a sweet shooting bow but is way to easy (20#) a draw for me. Same draw length 28". I like it so much I want to either purchase one for myself OR (which i prefer) build one (I have the tools) for myself.

Any suggestions as to 1. Type of wood for the riser
2. Type of wood for the limbs
3. Draw weights per wood type
4. Glues for laminate limbs
5. Poundage for hunting

I just put my bow (compound) into the shop for a new set of cables and a string and I am seriously missing my daily routine. I want to shoot my bow. I am crying here.
