I believe you are making the right choice going with 45 lb and not over bowing yourself .

When choosing a Bow Weight for Deer or Big Game check out the State Game Regulations in the State you plan on hunting, because most States have a minimum weight you can hunt with .

I have been a bow hunter since the 60’s and started with a recurve but switched to compounds in the 70’s and have used them continuous until today. I decide to switch back to Traditional Archery this years and just purchased my first long bow, as i have gotten older i have cut back on Heavy Poundage Bows and now only shoot 60 lbs on my compounds. The long Bow i just purchased is the Samrick 69 and i went with 45 lb because it is really easy to over pound yourself especially with a recurve or longbow. I am looking forward to taking my first deer this year with a Longbow. Personally if you have never shot a recurve or longbow i wouldn’t go any higher than 45 lb. Being able to shoot accurate will trump heavy poundage any day. Concerning my new longbow , I’m sure glad i didn’t go over 45 lbs when i ordered it. Here it is with a dozen arrow i just wrapped and fletched.
