Been hovering just above 70 lbs for many years.

Comfortable, even the "cold" shots, and with a 700 plus grain arrow, my local whitetails don`t have enough armor to to affect penetration.

This past winter, I did a "Robin Hood" on a favorite Carbonwood that is older than my daughter...it had been pushed thru at least a half dozen whitetails.

Confidence in an individuals set up is WAY more important than draw weight!

55# is my bow of choice.

shoot the weight you shoot well. I shoot a 60lbs bow because I shoot it best.

60 to 65 pounds at 29in, 630 grain arrows.

65 to 70# recurves; 73# longbow; my arrows are 600 to 650 grains. I'm 60 yrs old and with the help of my shoulder joints am starting to consider dropping weight but will hang on as long as I can accurately shoot these weights.

The trad bows that I use are between 38 and 52#. even my compound is 50#.

njloco · « **Reply #50 on:** June 13, 2012, 01:05:00 PM »

My bows are 42-51#, I can shoot heavier but haven't found a reason to as yet.

Johan van Niekerk · « **Reply #51 on:** June 13, 2012, 02:04:00 PM »

I think you can hunt almost anything with 45# and a HEAVY arrow. I would rather have more arrow weight than more pounds in draw weight

Raminshooter · « **Reply #52 on:** June 13, 2012, 02:16:00 PM »

61 lbs. @ 27 inches

i have a 64 that I really love that is getting alot of my attention but my 74# is my go to bow

Gil Verwey · « **Reply #54 on:** June 13, 2012, 03:40:00 PM »

60# at the moment and working my way up to 70# for hunting.

I have few bows at 80# I would like to be able to shoot but wouldn't hunt with them at this point. One day I would like to do Africa and would shoot the heaviest I could.

I like to be between 210 and 220 or so. Any more and my camoflauge makes my butt look fat.

My favorite hunting weight is 95@28. It's over the top for some, but in my recurve it's just sweet at anchor and I don't know any better.

frassettor · « **Reply #57 on:** June 13, 2012, 04:41:00 PM »

58-61# at my draw for me

Bowwild · « **Reply #58 on:** June 13, 2012, 04:52:00 PM »

My favorite, if I could handle it as easily as 45#s would be a 60# recurve. But, since I can't my favorite is 46-53#s.

I'll be hunting with 53.5#s this year which is more than 5 pounds heavier than the past two years. More than I've ever needed, with recurves, for whitetail deer.

Mid to upper 50's for me.
