Default RE: Looking for a bow...

Honestly suggesting specific models would be difficult given what you are looking for. There are a ton of bows out there that would meet your needs perfectly. I would suggest going to a reputable shop and have them help you. IMO, I would highly suggest taking a look at Bowtech's and Hoyt's. These seem to be the two most popular brands on here and for good reason. They have excellent customer service and great people to work with should you need them. But don't let name brands be the deciding factor though. Go with something you feel will meet your needs and feels good to you. Most bows are very adjustable in draw length. If you are going to hunt with it and can handle a 60lb bow, go with a 60-70lb draw. This way you can always move up the ladder. Keep an eye on brace height and ATA length as well. Bigger braces and longer ATA will fit better in the long run, especially if you want to grow into it. And, they are more forgiving.

My suggestions:

Hoyt Xtec (what I'm shooting and love it)
Bowtech (Liberty and Patriot)
