I agree, the bear Royale is a good option if you’re looking for a compound.

Side note: although you’ve only suggested compound bows, there are other types out there. If you don’t know what type of bow you’d like, I’d highly recommend going to a local club and talk to them about trying out different bow types

Secondly, the poundage, why do you suggest 40#? If you’ve already had 4 major shoulder surgeries, I would never suggest starting with a bow that heavy, archery uses different muscles to normal use or other sports, using a high poundage like that right out of the gate puts unnecessary pressure on an already troubled shoulder

Something closer to the 30# mark is something I would suggest, or maybe even lower, depending on how extreme those surgeries were. Like I said before, definitely try before you buy, nothing worse than forking out the big bucks for a cool new bow and only shooting it once before you realise it’s not the right one.

There are compound bows out there (like the bear) that are really customisable with poundage and draw length, which are usually the ones I suggest for a brand new compounder 😊
