Hi Krueger, You are getting ready to enter into a new way of life. I also bow hunt in CO. I use a Parker Hunter Mag bow or an XI Force One, both are set at 70lbs, both are single cam bows. I am shootin an overdraw on the bows, 30" draw and 26" arrows. I am using 2314 XX75 arrows and Muzzy 130gr 4 blade broadheads. PSE pin type sights and a Hunter Supreme rest. I use a caliper style release. This is simple set up and way under a $1000.00 dollars. The importance of this info to you would be this. The bows are not short in axle to axle length, around 38" to 40" in axle to axle makes a bow forgiving[easier to shoot]. The XX75 arrows are heavy, 10.34grs per inch and with the 130gr Muzzy they weight in at 490grs per arrow. And coming out of the bow at 260ft/sec, this is an elk killing set up. I get 2 holes in an elk[ 1 in, 1 out] leaving great blood trails. I find the single cam bows easy to tune and my broadheads fly like darts. I use a release because I suck at a finger release. The caliper style release is easy to use in the woods when you have to be quick. I don't get into the how much or how fast game. This is a great middle of the road set up that works. Now my dream bow, XI Force One no question. The bad part the company went out of business, so the one I have is the end of it. But I do like my Parker also.
