I pull 90lbs but 80 feels so good that I shoot 65.... My uncle always said his waist was a 38 but 40's felt so good he wore 42's. I pull 82# but mostly because I always have. I have a long draw and don't cut down my arrows (cause it would only be 3/8 inch at most) so I feel like if I can still pull it then why change. But I had surgery on my shoulder 25 years ago and messed it up this summer playing a diving game with my kids. Since I've been having issues with it popping out of socket causing me considerable pain and weakness. So, I may have to adjust it lower. (plus, I'm getting old and weak)

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

Hunting bow is 62#, backup is 52#. Killed deer with both. Today’s bows shoot plenty fast without much weight, the first deer I killed with an old PSE was shooting 175fps I wanna say. It’s all about shot placement.

72# but I am a pretty good size boy. Working with my 8 yr old on his bow set at about 30#

I shoot 63 now after shooting 70 (actually the bow shop said it was 72) my whole life. My realization was when I couldn't pull it back while seated (tried hunting from a ground blind for the first time and had a panic that afternoon when I tried to draw and couldn't)
