I like low to mid 60's. Mainly because I like to shoot 650-800+ grain arrows and still get decent trajectory with those draw weights.

My "go to" for hunting is a Shrew CH, 68@29.

53 pounds....zips right through anything I'm going to hunt.

Around 50# be shooting that weight for many years.

55-60 just feels right.

50 to 55 lbs with a 600 grain arrow and ultra sharp broadhead will zip thru pretty much any deer, elk or bear.

When I started bowhunting in the 70's I went from 45/50 to 55/60 till about 2008/2010 or so.When I turned about 60 I found I shot better with 50lbs. plus or minus a few lbs.I have limbs 46 to 53 that I shoot now.Looks like I am back full circle.Kip

My bows range from 45-60# at my draw. Now that I'm 40 I'm liking 50#, it's all about hitting where ya look...

50#s does the job for me!

About 205, but I haven't been 205 for years.

I've gone from 60# to 55# to 50# and now settled at 47# for the past few years ( all at my 30" draw). Arrow weight at 563gr. Great performance on deer & bear and would not hesitate to hunt elk or moose with this setup either. SHARP broadheads and good placement = dead critters!

55-60 is comfortable

55#'s has traditionally been my favorite hunting wt. however starting to warm up to the 50-52# range efficient bows.

AngelDeVille · « **Reply #73 on:** June 15, 2012, 03:07:00 PM »

I think at my draw length I'm pullin' about #53-54.

65# to 75#

55 - 70#, having dropped after years of shooting heavy stuff. Favorite weight 55-66#, I do not shoot near as much as when I was younger.

Red Tailed Hawk · « **Reply #76 on:** June 15, 2012, 09:31:00 PM »

Anything around 50# give or take a few pounds!!!

Mojostick · « **Reply #77 on:** June 15, 2012, 10:53:00 PM »

I've settled in to the 38-40lb range for whitetails. A passthru at 40lbs is easier to see than a passthru at 50lbs.

TOEJAMMER · « **Reply #78 on:** June 16, 2012, 12:43:00 AM »

Usually 60 to 65 but the go to bow is 61 all at 27 inches. A much cleaner release and been shooting them for many, many years and .....elk are big animals.
