Different weights, always use my heavy bows for elk, and early bow season. Once it gets cold its hard to sit for hours and shoot 60-65#s for me so I'll drop to mid 50's.

Yes of course. It all just helps me get really good/"beware of the man with one bow" kind of thing.

I have a 2-3 lb difference between my go-to LB and recurve but due to the dynamics of each they both end up with the same point of aim. This was not intentional, just a lucky coincidence.
I have bows ranging from 35-55 lbs but for most of my shooting I tend to stick with the same poundage give or take a pound or two.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Yep, either Ferguson Patriot, or one of 3 homemade R/D Bamboo Backed Osage all the same - 64" ntn, 73# @ 28". Have other weight bows, but that is what I shoot best.

Super Shrew 56@27", Talon Longbow pulls 57@27" and Checkmate Hunter recurve 55@27". The Talon requires lighter spined arrows. 50-55 cedars or 2018s.

Yes Same set up for everything. But I think shooting at rabbits or stumps or carp is practice time for Elk whitetails and bears.

I have too many bows to be able to only shoot one weight, but most of them are 50 to 60 pounds with a few in the 40's and a few in the 60's and low 70's.
