50#-52# @ 29" most of my go to bows, may be dropping back to 46#-48# the way some of them perform!!!

34 to 60 and a 65 pounder on order

Ragnarok Forge · « **Reply #45 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:18:00 PM »

55 lb at 30.25 inches. My second bow is being made to the exact same specs so 55lb and 55lb. for everything.

70#'s for it all.Anything else is a woman's weight...LOL

Just kidden I am comfortable with that weight and I want to shoot it as long as I can.

buckster · « **Reply #47 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:42:00 PM »

My bows range from 47-55# @ 27 1/2", I guess I'm shooting a girlie man's weight but with a 6" screw in my left shoulder, it's about as far as I want to push the pain and "crackle" envelope. LOL.

Most important thing isn't weight but ARROW PLACEMENT >>>>>>>----------------------->>

I shoot 50# for everthing

mcgroundstalker · « **Reply #50 on:** March 30, 2010, 08:00:00 PM »

All my bows are 47#- 50# at my 26" draw. Use 'em for hunting, 3D and stump shooting. Kinda like it that way.

I am currently shooting 55# for everything. But I killed my first whitetail with a 40# curve, so I would say that anything whitetail sized and smaller I would use 40#, but I know of women that shoot whitetails with 35#, and our legal minimum is 30#! So I think you are probably safe with anything 40# and up???

Both of the bows I hunt with are 48 lbs. at my draw length 29 3/4. I'm getting on up in years and I find that weight about right for me. Will kill anything in Arkansas.

thunder1 · « **Reply #54 on:** March 30, 2010, 08:05:00 PM »

I shoot 55 @ 27

John3 · « **Reply #55 on:** March 30, 2010, 08:16:00 PM »

54-58 pound bows that I hunt with.

I shoot 50@28 on all my bows but the largest animal around here is a whitetail. We don't even have hogs yet but unfortunatly they're all around us from what I understand.

SELFBOW19953 · « **Reply #57 on:** March 30, 2010, 08:30:00 PM »

50 to 65 depending on the bow, 50 to 54# for 50" or less. 65# in a 62". Got a 66" Kolometz that's 67#.

KentuckyWolf · « **Reply #58 on:** March 30, 2010, 08:32:00 PM »

54 or 55 @28. I can shoot more, I could shoot less but I like this weight. Not to hot, not to cold...just right. And, its deadly; add a heavy arrow with EFOC, and nothing is safe. I will put it up against anything extant or extinct in North America and almost anything on this planet. Give me some of those rambo "boom" tipped arrows and I will include mechanical monsters on that list too.....haha.

55-60# is a comfortable range for me.
