Depends on what you can draw easily and enjoy shooting. I don't know what weight you are shooting now but if the Damon Howatt you have at the bottom is your weight I don't think I would go as high as 60#

Getting a bow that is way too much poundage will really take lots of time to master & could cause problems & hurt your shooting. I agree that if you are comfortable with 45 lbs a step to 55 is the most I'd go. Frank
