Hey all you bowhunters on here, I am wondering what your draw weight and draw length is. I just want to know what you guys are shooting at. I'm shooting 60lbs at 28" draw length comfortably. Here's my bow: it's a Bear Fusion I got for about $450 probably.  ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2024/07/full-58661-225469-1000048553.jpg)

I saod 70 because that what the bow said but I didn't realize that was at full draw. So yesterday I got a bow pound age checker and it said 60. I don't lie.

28" draw length?
 You must be a big boy.
 
 Or I'm a little guy...my draw is 27".
Pics of his catches last year made him look like a normal 13 year old. Must have been giant coons |  |  |

Given the fact that you've mentioned you have trouble setting coil spring traps by hand and a couple of photos showing you with some raccoons, I would have thought you were most likely pulling 25-26" and drawing in the 40# range. I was surprised to read that you were drawing 28" and pulling 60#'s comfortably.

60lbs? I think you’re watching too many hunting videos on YouTube and trying to fit in. 
 My bow is set at 52lbs and that’s plenty for me.
 
 Like the other guys calling you out, your credibility on here is tarnished.

If you dont like his story dont read it .Young man is putting it on social media for people to read.... I think he may be stating what's written on his bow's label and not what he's actually fitted to his physique for accurate archery.

My longbow pulls 50 lbs at my 26 inch draw.
 Likely your bow was turned down in draw weight, almost all compounds can be adjusted in draw weight . The range should be listed on the bow limbs somewhere.
 
 
The limbs are tightly tightend for the heaviest draw weight at my draw length
