68-70# depending on brace height.  About 3# per inch.

3 David Miller bows

Could be somewhere in the neighborhood of 68#.  For some short bows, say 56" bows, 30" may be outside of the range they can be drawn without stacking.

I feel comfortable hunting with bows that are in the 55-60 lb range.  I have one bow that is 65# that I can pull a few times, on a good day, when I am warmed up.  I wouldn't feel comfortable hunting with it because I'm usually cold and stiff when I make a hunting shot.  I don't know that I could handle a 68# bow at all.
