All my bows are 62# - 67#. Any new bows I order will be in the 57# - 59# range. Haven't bought a new one in 10 yrs, so I think I'm due...right? 8^). Dropping in weight cuz I'm gettin' older.

50 plus or minus a pound or two for me.

I'm finally very comfortable with 55@28. If I can find the right bow in a takedown, I'm gonna try to work up to a few more pounds for elk.

57-60#s @ 30" My Howatt Hunter and my longbow.

Was using a martin viper at 60#, probably 66# at my 31" draw. My son got me trying a compound, and although it seemed ok to draw the next day my arm hurts. That was 2 months ago. Now my viper hurts too.
Point being, stay away from those dang wheelies...

Age has a way of making us more aware of our raw strength and the balance and alignement of your skeleton. Go with what you can easily control.
For me, thats low 40# at my 26.5" draw.

About 52#s

My current favorite bow is 68#@30"...have done most of my hunting with between 53-55#@30", but I shot those so much they got a little too easy to draw. It took me too long to achieve the back tension I like to feel and I felt I was giving away a bit of the advantage of shooting a traditional bow by waiting so long to get the shot off. The 68# seems a more forgiving as well. I have a Northern Mist longbow on the way as well that will be right about 71# at my 30" draw.

I have any where from 45# to 70# my comfortable weights are between 50 and 60# teh 70# bow was a mistake and I don't shoot it often I like the 55-60 though

45#-55# AT 28" WORKS FOR ME

amar911 · « **Reply #117 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:21:00 AM »

Favorite for most animals is around 55#. Enough weight for most hunting by not difficult to draw. For buffalo I would rather have closer to 70#. Nothing wrong with 45# for anything up to and including deer though.
