63# and fast enough to kill whatever I’m hunting. High poundage is no good if you can’t aim small. Totally agree 63 lbs

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. I always heard standing on a bucket, same premise. If you really want to know, try drawing on a turkey from your knees

45 lb longbow, 40 lb or 45 lb recurve. No problem killing what I am shooting at at the ranges that I like to shoot. I used to shoot 80 lb bows when I thought I needed to be a man. Then wisdom took over and I enjoy shooting a whole lot more now 30 years later. So advice, hyped up speed and weight are just that hype. Shoot what is comfortable and is properly tuned and correctly spined arrows.
Good shooting.
