Hunting bows

Bought a slightly used realmX a few months ago. A real smooth shooter.
 
Plain old Realm, no suffix. I don't remember if I tried the SR6 or SS (I'm pretty sure I tried one, if not both, of them), but the plain old Realm seemed to feel the best to me. Shop had me try a bunch of different bows. Of the ones I remember trying...

Mathews Vertix
Hoyt Helix I think?
Elite Ritual 30
Aforementioned Bowtech Realms

Fact of the matter is, because of my little T.Rex arms, no bow I buy is going to be super fast. And I'm OK with that. I'd rather get something that feels comfortable for me to shoot. My chrono says, at 25.5" draw, 65 lbs, comfort setting, 405gr total weight arrows = 240FPS.

Caveat of above opinions being that I consider myself a new archer.

I shot the realm and it was either the realm as or the Mathews for me. I ended up going Mathews
 
Mathews Vertix - stone - 56lbs - 27.5"

Express Maxima Hunter -340 spine at 27.5 carbon to carbon.

Looking like I'll be shooting 100 grain Magnus black hornet two blade serazors
