Im hunting white tailed deer in texas. Except I need a new bow since mine is way under powered. The one I have now is 22 pounder with 20-22" draw length. Im 14 and 5'9. What bow should i buy? please include arrows.

Here in New Zealand, the general rule of thumb is a 45 lb bow to start hunting with.

You guys are spoilt for choice over there, with a huge spectrum of bow manufacturers and dealers.

My opinion for what it is worth, is to contact a bow hunting club. Or a retailer may be able to help you locating a club or individual that can teach you some hard earned lessons...always easy to learn from someone elses experiences.

All the best, and remember to have fun.

exactly, in Victoria (Australia) you actually need 50# for it to be legal (it doesn't specify size of game) and you'll need broadheads with at least 2 blades (i suggest 3, or 2 w/bleeders)
in regards to bows, its all personal preference, what looks nice and can do that job, and arrows are the same, gamegetter aluminium, axix FMJ's or Carbon Express will do the job aswell

"a bow hunting club. Or a retailer may be able to help you locating a club or individual that can teach you some hard earned lessons...always easy to learn from someone elses experiences." <----- Definately the best advice though
