I have bows from 45# to 73#,my favorite weight range are my bows from 55# to 65#.I shoot these mostly anymore.

48# @ 29 draw. Comfortable to shoot all day, but plenty of speed on a 515 gr arrow. Out of a Lost Creek that is!

Mine are 3@60#, 2@65# and 1@69# so I voted 60-64.

46-50# @ 29"......works for me!

When I was younger mid 60's worked fine.
with these stiff joints 50 is just fine.
not ready to set on the porch yet.

I like the results. Seems pretty sensible.

I like my bows in the 60ish range. I think 50ish is fine for hunting but the increased performance is worth the extra weight to me.

rooster77 · « **Reply #28 on:** June 01, 2011, 05:47:00 PM »

55# @ 27

Sergio, Your the man at 64, Good for you on those heavier bows. That is what I was shooting in my 40's. After years of shoulder issues everything is in the low to mid 40# range! Matched up with the right arrow I get excellent cast.

Roots · « **Reply #30 on:** June 01, 2011, 06:16:00 PM »

I am more consistent shooting 45# bows, can draw and hold.

While I would probably feel more confident with a 53-58# bow, I like the feel of my 48# longbow and 49# recurve. I also shoot a 60# recurve and 65# longbow, and have no qualms with them... but I enjoy the lighter ones more. I draw a solid 31", and my style is to draw and hold for a couple of seconds or so.

A shoulder injury has sidelined me for the time being, though.

55-65 works for me.

jcprintz · « **Reply #33 on:** June 01, 2011, 06:29:00 PM »

50 @ 27" for me

swampthing · « **Reply #34 on:** June 01, 2011, 06:37:00 PM »

63#@27"

pauljr · « **Reply #35 on:** June 01, 2011, 06:54:00 PM »

59lbs @ 31inches works nicely for me

champ38 · « **Reply #36 on:** June 01, 2011, 07:03:00 PM »

My prefered wt is 67@29 1/2".

JCJ · « **Reply #37 on:** June 01, 2011, 07:15:00 PM »

50#-55# at my 31-32" draw depending on the bow
