I have one of these bows going on 10 yrs now. Its a 61" and likes a 5 7/8" bh. I never have problems with it hitting my arm but will throw on an arm guard if I'm bulked up on clothes just to keep them outta the way. Its 57 lbs at 28 and throws a 587 gr arrow at 180fps. On a good day I can send 5 arrows into a 3" circle at 25yds. It was a little noisy with the beaver balls but I threw on some yarn balls and its as quiet as any other bow I've shot. The animals never hear it on the shot, they've all just stood there while I sent the arrow clean thru em.
Hope you like it Danny, I sure as heck like mine.
