42# bow for practice, 3D and hunting all but turkeys. Learned my lesson the hard way about just how tough those birds are; minumum 50# for turkeys.

I've got bows from 40-60#, and regularly use the 40#er for form practice. When Hunting season comes around, all I need to do is swap the limbs out for the 55# ones, or grab a heavier bow off the shelf.

Back before the confound bow, we nearly always shot lighter target bows in the summer then went to a heavier hunting bow for the fall. It doesn't hurt at all...it helps establish solid form, and that will carry over when you pick up the heavier bow. You will develop a form memory while also honing those release skills...win-win situation.
