For reference my 32 inch 2317s of old seemed heavy. 125 gr. 3 blade muzzys where like lobbing bricks out if a bear whitetail.

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

I can sit in a chair and shoot 65# 15+ times without ever moving bow sights off target during draw. Think i'll stay with that. With as fast as these bow shoot now. I cant understand why someone wants to kill their shoulder or chance spooking the monster of a lifetime fighting to draw a bow in the stand.

Just kidding obviously. I’m not sure but I’d guess around 55-60. Plenty enough for these soft bodied white tails.

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.

yes; i would add -- it's also important to do this STONE COLD -- as the first thing you do in the morning ... things get different 30' up a tree in 30/40 deg weather

Just had a new string put on my Hoyt and I walked out of the store with it on 67 lbs. I have been shooting 64 lbs for years. I can comfortably shoot it at 67 so I’ll likely leave it there. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been so as long as I can do it I will.
