lefty buckmaster i live in ohio. the minium draw weight here is 40#'s but i would recomend a bow that goes from about 40-60# if u can find one everyone here will tell u PSE sucks. but they dont most of the people dont even own one. i own a pse brute force maxis its atleast 8 years old. and i smoke mathews and other brands when i go to shoots. also the nova is a good bow. but one thing any one on hear can tell u is to shoot all the bows u can and pick the one u like the best. not what someones tells u
