63# and fast enough to kill whatever I’m hunting. High poundage is no good if you can’t aim small. Nothing any good if ya can't aim small.

Some of these young bucks be rippin those arrows but can’t hit the side of a barn. Not to mention they’ll be struggling with all kinds of movement to get it pulled back.

Really liked a 60# bow I tried this weekend. How much speed is enough?
60 is plenty. Just get the right draw LENGTH.

62#. If you can’t comfortably draw your bow from a seated position without “sky drawing” it, you’re pulling too much weight.

62#. If you can’t comfortably draw your bow from a seated position without “sky drawing” it, you’re pulling too much weight. Exactly Sonny. Ive practiced with folks that point their bow up, struggle to draw it and then bring it down to aim. I just shake my head. I ask them if they really think a deer is going to tolerate all that movement? You have to be able to SMOOTHLY draw when seated for sure or youre pulling way to much weight . Mine is around 63 or 64#'s.
