You can find a lot of reviews I did on many brands on my site
www.peteward.com look in the trad review sections.
As for recommending a draw weight, that will depend on what you can easily handle and shoot accurately. As to range most good trad shooters want a Moose or Elk 30 yards or less and a deer at 20 or less. {deer is smaller target}
The arrow will kill as far as it flies, but you can't be accurate as far as it flies.
Most start out 40 to 45#, or less, but you need 40# to be legal to hunt.
If I can help get you going just ask,
