54 and 55@28 for my two bows

Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

50-55 lb works well for me.

I have a 48 and a 58 and will hunt with both. Probably the 48 for whitetail most times....I shoot both equally well....so maybe to change my luck (hopefully won't need to - grin).
