When I got my first compound, an old guy that worked with my dad told me if you couldn't sit on a 5 gallon bucket and draw the bow back without having to point it up, you're pulling too much weight. It took me about 8 years to figure out that old dude was correct.

Around 60-62 sure feels good to me.

Was reading an arrow thread and shaw mentioned lowering the persons weight. Well I had mine pegged at 70ish. So I back off a little over a turn to around 65 and wow what a difference. The big difference I can tell is when I hit the let off point and holding steadier. Should've done it earlier. YEP!! Made a world of difference in my groups on my new/used 2014 Bear Method

Yep, I've got mine at 60-62ish. Heck, I'd probably go down to mid-50's but my bow doesn't have enough adjustment for it. There's just no need to shoot such heavy poundage.

shooting 65bs Traditional doesn't have let off. Rarely do I ever hold a draw either. It's mainly, draw and aim all in one motion, and let off after touching corner of mouth. 52-53lbs. God Bless, David B.
