My go to is a 1964 Bear Cub pulling 50lbs at 28 inches. I shoot a 29.5 in Easton Trad Only carbon shaft in 500 spine with 250 up front.
I love this bow! I got it for 50 bucks. Even though it is 20 years older than I am, its a nail driver if I do my part!
I have also put down some game with a Samic Sage. in 55lbs. I shoot a full legnth warrior 400 spine with 300 grains up front for that.
