Hi Folks,
2024 will be my second rifle season and I am thoroughly enjoying the overwhelming process of learning how to hunt. I practice shooting weekly and am slowly making some good progress.
I'm ready to also expand into learning how to shoot a compound bow and am going to be purchasing one in the near future. I have a couple questions if some people wouldn't mind helping me out:
So typically the way I was brought up is to buy something of middling quality, learn how to use it and make sure you are fully committed and then buy more quality gear. I went and talked to a fella in a local gear shop and he suggested something along these lines:

Questions:
1. It's about $750, this seem like a reasonable place to start?
2. I believe the poundage on the bow is around 50 - 70. Should I assume that I can pull a bow at 50 pounds? I'm 5'9 and maybe 180 pounds, in reasonable shape. Although I do cardio regularly I have zero strength training in my week.
I also asked him if there were modifications that he liked personally - His opinion:
- upgrade the rest to drop away
- use a 3 pin slider
^^ thoughts?
