60# @ 28" for both my primary and backup bows (twins). I have a bunch of other bows from 50# to 71# @ 28" but 60# @ 28" feels the best to me.

I workout with the Formaster with a 65# bow, so 60# feels great to me. Before I used the Formaster I was thinking of stepping down to the high forteys, because of a shoulder injury and tennis elbow problem. Practicing shooting with Formaster eliminated my tennis elbow in my drawing arm and working out with the Formaster strengthened a injury I had in my bow arm shoulder. I don't know where I would be without the Formaster. It made me bow strong, improved my form and made me rock steady at full draw.

48# will put backstraps on the grill but my combo looses steam past 25 yds.I like to look at my critters when I shoot so at 30 yds. and that's my limit, I prefer my 58 pounder.

48# @29" works for me.

54# recurve at 27

Ethan Grotheer · « **Reply #172 on:** May 31, 2010, 12:03:00 AM »

I've shot bellow 50# and over 60#, but I always end up hovering around the 55# mark with my bows. It's just a great medium of weight that is negotiable in all weather conditions, and can take any game on this continent and most others.

My thoughts anyhow,
Ethan

I shoot a 49# 60" bow. I would not hesitate to use a lower poundage bow for deer.

Well, I shoot 44#, just had a clinic with Rod Jenkins world class archer, I asked him what he shoots at deer an he said , nothing over 40#, he killed several last yr. an had a pass thru on all of them. Its hard to kill something deader than dead.
