50# at my draw length. My biggest animal to date with that weight is a 670# Kudu in Africa last summer.

60 @ 28" - could go lighter if it weren't for that whole weight not being adjustable on the recurve thing.

63# to 83#, but I think I'll settle on about 69# for some time.

My go-to bow is a 58" Black Widow PSRV,52@27 but this coming season I think I'm gonna be hunting with a '75 58" Browning Nomad Stalker II,48@27 or a 54" Shakespeare Super Necedah,52@27. I'm leaning towards the Browning though

Thanks to smooth draw curve on my GN Critter Gitter, I'm going to hunt with a 68@28 bow.
