From 75# at one time long ago to 65# to 55# @ 29" last year. It shot thru a Moose. Nuff said.
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

60-66# @ 27" most days.  Hunted with a 54# the past two years.  Killed them just as dead but I still prefer the feel of bows in the 60's.

How in the world do you find the time to tune arrows for all those?  I have trouble keeping a flight for each of four on-hand!

75# ML-14 Zebra Wood L.B.

 Tried under 70# several times but just can't make my brain do it.  I'm pushing the 55 yr. old mark and know that when I get old I'll probably need to go down to the 60# range.

My current go to bow is 55#. If I get over 60#, my shoulder gives me fits.

Practice like you are the worst, shoot like you are the best...

mid to low 50s no real reason to go up right now

John3

Depending on the bow I range between 56# to 67#. I honestly enjoy the lighter bows more. My "go to" bow is a PGA Widow at 56#...

Although I own a Hoyt Pro Medalist Hunter bow made the year after I was born (1968) that is 49#, I plan on killing a deer with that bow this year..  Just for the tradition.

I shoot between 40-55. Shooting the heavier bows has built my form on the lighter bows. I enjoy all of them.
