Samick Journey would be my choice, glad it was yours.  I have two, and really like them.  I draw 30" and don't have any stacking.

I use 1916 and 2016 Easton xx75 Tribute shafts, full length, 4" x 3 fletching, and 145 grain tips (sometimes 175 grain). I have 30, 35 and 40# limbs for them (have two risers).  The 35# limbs get shot the most-great for form.  I get about 41# @ 30" with them.

The 40# limbs pull ~ 46# @ 30, and shoot 2016 shafts very well with either 145 or 175 grain points.  I shot them "off the shelf"  with a 1/16" thick strike plate.

Too bad Samick discontinued it.  It's a great bow.
Behavior accepted, is behavior repeated.

I'd say samick sage if they weren't made in China. Have to stick with an older bow like a Bear or Ben Pearson. That will get him into it
