Default Diamond-Bowtech-Razer edge

Went down today to Jim bow's in Calgary today and shot my first bow. I shot a razer egde bow and started with a 30 pound draw weight to the legal 40 pound. Im thinkng about buying the bow, It come's with a quiver, sights and the bow for $414.00.

Brace height:7"
Axle-to-axle:31"
Draw weight:20,60
Draw length:19"-29"
IBO speed:308

boondocks accessory package:
-3-pin fiber optic sight
-hostage capture arrow rest
-black 4-arrow 2-piece quiver
-braided wrist sling
-peep sight

I shot this bow about 10 times shooting 3 arrows everytime. I first started of shooting at 10 yards and i was doing pretty darn good. Then i went to 20 Yards and was still hitting the paper.
This would be my first bow, and i want to get into bow hunting.
So if you gays/gals have any info on this bow could you please let me know. Thanks>

Jim told me that this bow will last you for about 5 years. Because its so adjustable. the only thing I am worried about is where i will hunt

This is a great bow, I bought my son the exact same one for his birthday this fall. I believe his is the one that goes up to 60lbs, and up to a 29" draw length. If he decides he no longer wants to bowhunt, at least I'll have a great little backup bow...
