Samick Sage or Journey.

I was looking at the samick sages on eBay. If I go with the 50# draw What arrows do I need to look at?

 

[CAT Diesel]

If you have a long draw length you might want the Journey. I have a 29.5" DL and the Journey fits me perfect.

Look up Viper1 on here, he has some great reads and information on traditional archery.

Nope I'm a 27in draw lenght on my compound anyway

Call Lancaster and ask them about a Carsage. 40 bucks for the riser and 70 for limbs.

Samick Polaris is a good bet too - Sages are hard to come by. Don't know why more people don't mention these, they're extremely common and a fair bit cheaper than Sages.

What DW and letoff % are you shooting on your compound?

 

[jakeemt]

I have one I am going to sell. It's a martin saber 55 lb at 28. Just figured I would toss it out there .

 

[pitbullman]

I shot 70# with 65% let off

How comfortable are you shooting that weight? How many shots before you fatigue?

I can shot for hours with that weight not bragging I'm just a fit guy.

So What weight should I get to start out with. I figured 50# would be OK to start and stay with. I want to hunt with the set up and do some 3d shoots.
What arrows for that set would You suggest? Tip weight? I want to do it right from the get go

I'd recommend a bow marked [email protected]" which should give you something in the low 40s at your DL. A little heavier then I'd normally recommend, but not very many compound archers shoot 70# with only 65% let-off.
Look at the Samick Sage for your budget. You will also need a tab (Bateman) and likely a better string then the one it comes with.

For arrows a Gold Tip 3555 left full length with 100-150gr tips should be tunable.

So this will get me slaying deer with no issues?

Call Lancaster Archery. Seriously. Their prices compete with Ebay and they will tell you exactly what you need (and don't). I just bought a Sage and it arrived in 3 days.

Almost any bow will kill a deer if you put the arrow in the right place. 40# at your DL is more than enough.

If you start now and practice daily you might be able to take shots within 20yds by the fall.

Very good advice for a lotta reasons, for your budget.

I'd also add, stick with feather fletching for now; makes tuning your broadheads much easier, when that time comes.
