60-65# at 30 inches

53-58# works for me.

75# Hill and 80# Silvertip, approximately 78# and 83# respectively at my draw length. I don't snap shoot (I'm no good at it); I have to go through a process of draw, anchor, hold, aim, release. However, as I don't hunt big animals all the time, and mainly hunt pigs, I am going to start shooting 65# (68# for me) bows more.

62#@27

Just looked there are 5 between 42 and 47 pounds. Two that are 51# and 53# and one 57#er. (All at 28") I still shoot them all but the only time the 57# gets shot much is before an out west trip. I draw right at 30" and that one gets to be a bit much on my aging shoulders.

My go to bow is a Ferret 53# at my 30". I would use it for anything on this map.

Silvertip 52#@28", 60" one piece

Kris · « **Reply #74 on:** January 15, 2010, 08:07:00 PM »

54# to 64# with 57# being about perfect, drawing 28" for longbows 29" for recurves, shafts 650 grains or better, 25% FOC plus, single bevel 2 blade BH, perfectly tuned arrows yields awesome firepower!

wihill · « **Reply #75 on:** January 15, 2010, 10:03:00 PM »

FireFly 57#@28, and home made 62#@28.

jcp161 · « **Reply #76 on:** January 15, 2010, 10:13:00 PM »

50-53#. For some reason, going above that makes it harder to shoot with any accuracy. Took alot of bows to figure that out.

DngrsDan · « **Reply #77 on:** January 15, 2010, 10:36:00 PM »

While I can draw and shoot in the 60 - 65# range I like the feel on my 50#@29", 66" LB. Not too heavy to hold yet heavy enough to take down anything from rabbits to ... ?. Nothing bigger than anything I'm likely to shoot that I want a heavier weight for.

Used to shoot a 70# wheelie, bare finger, a looooooonnngg time ago. :D Met a guy back then who was shooting a 125# wheelie.

I couldn't even pluck the string on that thing! :eek:

Nothing whatsoever AGAINST a heavier weight. If ya shoot it and ya like it, then God Bless ya-keep on shootin' it!

Matter of personal choice/preference-same as every other aspect of life.

I prefer 53-58# for 90% of my hunting can go up to and comfortably shoot 2 of my bows that are 62# but not that much reason too.
