Default Buying New Bow

Ok I know this will draw all sorts of opinions and that is why I am throwing it out there..

I am looking to buy a new bow for deer hunting. I am looking to upgrade from my current antique setup. I currently shoot a Bear Black Panther 30 inch draw at 63 pounds with Easton Aluminum 2117's. I know I will be switching to carbon arrows. I have dabbled in and out with shooting over the last few years due to a shoulder injury that until recently, drawing the bow aggrivated after 2 or 3 days of shooting. The shoulder has come full circle and is ready to start shooting. I am looking to be up and running at full steam by next fall. The old Bear has one more trip in it in January as I don't want to rush getting a new bow setup with the holidays and all prior to that trip. I am thinking of going down in poundage to around 50, so I can pull and shoot comfortable from a sitting position without potentially reaggravating the shoulder. I don't want to break the bank either. All of your valued opinions are welcome.

There are many a good bow on the market NHBuck. My best suggestion is go to a shop that sells them and see which one fits you well. Talk to some of the archery guys in the shop. Most, but unfortunately not all, will shoot straight with you and put you into one that fits your wallet and well as shooting preference.
I am not into saying one brand is better than the next. It all depends on your preference and amount you want to pay. Just go and try them out and see what fits you the best and see if they have some demo's on the floor you can shoot. A lot of places have their own ranges and let you try out some of the bows. That is my best reccomendation for you without saying this brand or that one....

With your shoulder problems, I would stick with eccentric wheels. You can still get both high end or low end bows with them on. My Parker single cam gave my shoulder all kinds of problems for a few years.
