Great info above. Got into it about 6 months ago. I'm a small guy 6 ft. Only a buck seventy but ended up starting out with a 70 pounder and set it at 60 to begin with. After practicing a couple of times a week I've got it set at about 67 with no problems pulling or holding for awhile. I started out with a bear mauler package and happy with it. Only cost me about 400 for a complete set up except for the release and arrows. Just remember the obvious - cheap bow expensive bow, it all comes down to practice, practice, and then some more practice...
