What is your hunting bow weight for those that use a clicker on the bow?

I've used a clicker on a 51# bow...  Don't use one right now but they are great little tools!

Great little piece of equipment. I use on all my bows [helps control that dreaded T.P.] up to my 62# chek-mate 56".Also really helps developing and maintaining backtension. Keep on clicking   Mo

I have used them on 51# and 49# bows. Great for learning draw controll including back tension. Don't use one now but would not hesitate if I thought the need presented it's self.

miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where
you are going and why.

My recurves range from mid-50's to mid-60's, but generally I shoot 57#.

I only shoot clickers and have been doing so for the past 6 months on my 45-55# bows.  

However, I have found that when a very difficult shot is about to be made that I "freeze up" at the instant before the click.    :thumbsup:  

I will hunt with a clicker this year for the first time, and God only knows what will happen.  :pray:
