Atleast it did in my mind.
very subjective, personal stuff that must be looked at on an individual basis. there is no one blanket "rule" that sez light or heavy bows are ok for *everyone*. only you can provide the right answers, if yer honest with yerself.
do you really know what yer doing when it comes to hunting bunnies, deer, speed goats, hogs, bear and elk?
will you use tackle that you are confident will get the job done under hunt venue conditions?
i've never chased bear or elk, but i'd do my homework before going hunting for those critters and make sure the tackle chosen was up to the task and that i was confident and accurate in its use. if i could only be consistently accurate with a 42# holding weight bow, i'd stick to bunnies and deer, and pass on the rest. ymmv.
