I am in the market for a new bow and would like feedback (good or bad) on different brands. I will probably need something with adjustable poundage. Right now I can handle 50# but would like to work up to more. Also, accurracy and quietness is on top of the list of requirements. I will be using it on elk and shots will be under 40 yards. Any sugestions?

Your best bet would be, to go to some bow shop. Shoot they bows & find one that feels good. Don't buy the first 3 you shoot. There are a lot of good brands out there. Have fun with it.
O have them reduce the pounding pull, so you would be able to shoot.

When the wife and I were looking for a bow for her to start hunting with she found that she liked the Parker Challenger the best. Not saying that is the one to choose just saying that it might be one to look at.
Live to hunt, hunt to live.
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.
