diamond makes good bows but i think the best way to start is to go to an archery shop that has an indoor range and shoot some different bows and have them give you the tips on accesories and shooting form. As far as draw weight goes i would work on your form first with a lighter weight then after you get the form down i would start to go up in small increments. Most bows have a 10 lb adjustment so try to start with something like 50 or 55 lbst until you get your form down then work your way up to 60 or 65 or until you are comfortable. But remember weight is not everything. Good luck and welcome to the sport.

Definitely go to a shop for help. From your description, you will outgrow the razor edge very quickly. Bow is great for women and kids but you are at the point where I would look at a different model.

some guys dont believe in used bows but i personally dont see anything wrong with most of them, you just have to be sure of the overall condition. bowsite.com usually has a large selection.

Have you checked the selections at some local archery dealers? This time of year you should be able to find some of last years bows at a discount. Cabelas have some good discounted packages but you don't get the personalized help that you would at an archery shop. Check around because again I think the razor edge will not last you but a year or so before you will be looking for something else. Also, the accessories on the razor are very basic and not worth much.

Also, don't think that I am discouraging you from getting a bow, I am encouraging you to find one that will last you for a few years. Bowhunting is a great sport that you will enjoy. Also very addicting. Good luck.
