Bow weight advise

[Pointer]

John..45lbs will do everything you want for what you are hunting..There are golden deals to be had in either the classifieds or ****. You will be ahead of the game if you have had the chance to try out some bows and already know what you like in therms of grip and bow length. I'm a fan of the old Wing recurves like the falcon and thunderbird..I have a 30" draw and a large hand so the grip and the length suit me. So do the old Bear Tigercats from the late '60s in the 62' length..lots of great old bows to be had and all for a reasonable price. You can also get some of the Samick bows brand new for great low prices...My brother has a Sage in the 62" length and it's a fine shooter...cost $140...new..good luck and have fun with your search!
