Hope I don't sound like I am hacking on you, youngbowyer.

Not at all, as I don't actually know alot about it.

Chuchip:
Thanks for the advice guys.

My bow is 55lbs. @30''. I just measured my draw length and I guess it's about 24 inches ( ??? the last time I measured it when I was 15 it was 25 inches...). As for the handle, its a simple straight, round handle with no arrow rest.

JW_Halverson:
Ok, if your draw length is 24" and your bow is rated 55# @ 30", your actual draw weight is going to be quite a bit less than the 55#.   I'd hesitate to guestimate.  Any way you can check the actual draw weight at your actual draw length?

Chuchip:
Hmmm I don't have anything to measure the draw weight but I could probably figure out some way to do it.

EDIT: I'm gonna go buy a fish scale on Monday and then I'll find out what it is.

aero86:
fish scale or a 2x4 marked every inch, the use that on a bathroom scale will get you close..  thats how i figure mine.
