Agree 100%   Im in the same range and prefer my 54@28 for most versatile and all around tool of the trade.

61#@27", just had my draw length re checked at a local bow shop and had my Howatt Hunter scaled at my draw length. I started with a 45# recurve, then I worked up to 55#'s, worked up to the 61#.

43# @ 25" .... 150fps @ 500gr .... not smokin but sufficient. I'd rather be accurate than tough and I'm not capable of being both as some are.
