New bow advice

[jon.brown509]

I'm looking at buying a Matthews MR5 with #80 on it been really impressed with it in the store,but The price is making me a bit hesitant has anyone else shot one or recommend a bow close to it ?

Are you going to Africa for water buffalo?

80# is alot of horsepower. Do you really want to practice with that much?

[jon.brown509]

 Yes I am, I have a gentlemen from back east who is loaning me his Africa bow to use and I bought 6 arrows with heads for the hunt....So now I get to buy a bow for myself I figured #80 to start well be good I know it well be a jump from my other #60 bow but the one I shot in the store was so smooth and felt amazing

Don't blow your shoulder up. That mr5 is a beast! At 80lbs? good luck in Africa!
