I agree with ewolf, 60lbs is fine, especially starting out. Some people shoot no more than 60lbs their whole life. I would recommend starting out small...as in not spending a fortune to get started. Bowhunting gets expensive very QUICK and will make you go when you check your bank account.

I bought a PSE Nova almost 3 years ago as my first bow, and I'm just now getting a new bow. The PSE has served me well, I'm just ready for a faster, quieter, smooter, heavier draw bow. But the important thing is to not go nuts when starting out just to find out bowhunting isn't for you.

These boards as well as the archery boards at archery talk contian a wealth of information just waiting to be read...happy reading.
