    I would look for something under 45# and preferably closer to 30#

    My first bow, a traditional, was 55# and I had no issue.

    Consider an ILF set-up. You can mix and match limbs and risers to shoot whatever you want. These risers and limbs all interchange and I can shoot anywhere from 20#-57#. These 4 risers and 8 sets of limbs can make 32 different weight/length combinations.
