Here's the scoop. In May i severed my left tricep tendon and had to have it surgically repaired.
My problem is that my left arm does not have the strength to draw a bow with a lot of draw weight. 29" draw and I was pulling between 65 and 70 lbs.
I'm looking for opinions on bows that are still capable of killing a deer at 20-25 yds and only drawing around 50 lbs. Not looking to break the bank, but a good quality bow.
Thanks guys!

At 50 lbs you can pick any quality bow and be good to go. If you can draw 50lbs with your left hand you will be ok. Check the bow shops and try different bows.

Thanks. I do shoot right handed, it's holding with the left arm is where the problem is.

Run from your area down to Kerens, and see Jerry at Redneck Booda outdoors. He will fix you up, with a bow that you can use.

Thanks1 I've heard a lot about that place. I'll try to head down there in a month or so.

Good, I drive over an hour to deal with him. I won't let anyone else mess with my bow. Heck first time I went in there I was bow shopping and he told me I didn't need a new bow. Definitely low pressure sales, eh?
