    I am currently shooting a chill X at 29 inches of draw between 69 and 70 pounds with 85% let off.

    I have my chill R buried so should be 70-72. Still have the ability to pull this with no issues in below 0 temps so I like the extra kinetic energy.

    I have my chill r pulling 73#. With the cables slightly twisted. Still shoots amazingly smooth and quiet. Can't wait to sink a killzone in the heart of a giant.

    I had some shoulder problems a few years ago, so I don't shoot as much as I used too. Although since I'm shooting the smooth Creed XS, I'm back up a bit and shooting 65 lbs this season.

    68-69# at 29 inches. I decided last year to step it down a pound or two even though I could draw 70 just fine. I actually feel it tightened up my groupings, so I stuck with it

    Thanks for the question. I am shooting the Creed at about 65# at a 28" draw. Lots of room to increase my draw weight but I feel the most comfortable midway.

    Came oh so close to buying a Chill X. If I wouldn't be murdered by my soon to be wife, I might just do it.
