Take a Poll on Bow Weight

[njloco]

I think this might also be age related,

42-51 #

[Eugene Slagle]

45-55# for me, that's plenty for what I intend to hunt.

[WildmanSC]

My bows are in the 45-47#@28" range.  And they are all great shooting bows, or I sell them!     Sometimes I sell them even if they are great shooting bows!    :D

My group range from about 55 to 63#.I tend to shoot mostly in the 55# range.  Anything over 60# does not get much use.  Appears that age is catching up with me.

53# at 27

[Longbow1953]

55-6o lbs. longbows.

[Butchie]

Longbows between 47 & 53# @ my 30" draw.  Only use the 47 for the past 4 years now.

[wapiti1997]

I have a 55# Wapiti recurve and a custom TD Herway longbow at 42#, shooting the same 510 grain arrow the 42# is 185 fps the recurve 180, no brainer, I like shooting the 42 pounder better!

last year I started the year at 55# and by augest I was ready for a 45#er.This year started with 46# limbs and things are going so good I will be hunting with at least 55#,may try 60#.   Dan

[fivebears]

Only a few more days to vote...

Now I hunt with my 65# Wesley Special almost exclusively. I used to shoot a 78# Bamboo Longhunter, but I am nearly 62 now, and staying conditioned enough to properly control that much weight is a lot tougher than it used to be.  I can foresee the need before too long to drop down again in draw weight, but I have some thing for that, too. Draw weights from 59# down to 40#.

[Wiley Coyote]

Shrew at 56 lbs and a new GN Bushbow at 53 lbs.  

[Wary Buck]

I've found the lower weight I shoot (to a point), the more accurate I shoot.  I once shot mostly a 63# longbow, but prefer mostly 53-55# these days.
