Welcome to the site LittleDoe. Good luck with the crossbow this season, but don't be too quick to give up on the compound either. I am only 5'4" and weigh 113 lbs. Last year I was only pulling 35 lbs and killed deer with my bow, so pulling light weight and killing deer is not an impossibility, you just need to be proficient in your shots. Again, welcome aboard and good luck
