This was the exact solution I came up with when I logged in here last year. I decided to save a few bucks and order a maddog mutt at 45#.

I thought it would be my training/exercise bow while I figured out what brand, design, and weight I'd want for my "real" hunting bow... Now I know that this is the only bow I need (but I do plan to order another one just like it so I have a spare)

Okay, time for me to chime in. Start at 45#, that is where I started. Then, who knows where you will end up.

If you make friends with Leo Markert, Justin Newell, Frank (Sorefingers), Joseph (Gorillabows), or Marlon Torres (Heavybows), plan to go up in weight. It is kind of a cult thing.

Boys just talked to Mike and placed the order at 45# long bow. Thanks for all the help. Really looking foward to it.

Try different bow weights
Everyone is different, you have to shoot your own weight, not somebody else

Good luck,
