1 think that will help is if you let us know what type of target shooting you will be doing. (3d, Field, FITA,)

For my daughter's 14th birthday, She started in with JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery Development) an arm of USAA last year. She shoots a Hoyt MT Sport compound Bow. it was chosen because it is a round wheel very stable shooting bow that allows weights (draw weight) under 30 lbs, but adjustaable up thru 45+ . It can/will be used also for hunting.
   For now, however, ;she has become good enough to be Ranked 8th in the Nation in her Class.... shooting out to 60 Meters in competion against some of the best around. 
 
   She just came back April 28 from the International Classic in Atlantic City with 2nd Place.
   Pretty good I'd say.   Equipment is important, but good competant coaching is a must.  As well as a good target sight.   I wish you luck...
   Looking over Hoyt's new line of Bows, if you can pull 'em (there is no real need to pull 70# for target shooting) Hoyt has  new engineered models of the TEC line (Vortec, UltraTec, ProTec, HyperTec) worth looking at.  They are excellent hunbting and Target bows adjustable from 30-70# on the target model, 40-80# on the hunting...a real engineering feat. in a single cam design.

Paul,
I would recommend an Hoyt Ultra-Tec with XT2000 limbs and Command
Cams, possibly the Saber cam if you are set on shooting a singlecam.
It is a great bow, with a good combination of axle-to-axle length, brace
height and speed. Plenty fast for 3-d, and Dave Cousins just won the
Atlantic City Classic with one, so it's plenty accurate, not that it
will instantly make you shoot like him, but it won't hurt.
Remember, DON'T over bow yourself. keep that draw weight down so
that you can shoot all day long. When you start shooting tough 3-D
courses, you'll be thankful for a nice easy pulling draw weight. Plus
it will be a *lot* easier on you arms and shoulders.

Good luck,
--Mike C.
