50#

56 & 62. Recurve & Longbow.

Think my current bow was on 77lb last time I checked ,my old elk hunting bow was around the century mark. It seems to get harder to draw every year don't shoot no where the amount of arrows I used to shoot.

My old boss had a conograph and I backed my bow off from 70to60 and it didn't loose much for fps. Just depends on how far you want your arrow to go into the ground after it goes thru the deer.

55# Elite Synergy. I used to shoot higher poundage but for the area I hunt my shots are short and the terminal performance has been fine. Trying to preserve my shoulder wish I would have done it sooner as surgery is inevitable sometime in the future.

We all buy our longbows or recurves when we had plenty of testosterone……and as we age and lose our strength or have shoulder surgery…and wish we had a lighter weight. I know I do.

Mathews bow 60lbs

Excalibur Grizzly 200lbs

Good show

370. Shoulders went bad. Had surgery on both and still can't pull a bow. I hadn't archery hunted for years and have really missed it. This year I got a permit from the state to use a crossbow. Harvested a little meat buck and I am happy. And while it's not the same, it was fun.
