I am of the oppinion you shoot what you can comfortably draw and shoot.(maybe even a little less for those what if moments) Poundage and speed are both overated. My bow never gets changed onced i am tuned. Usually around 58#. If I were to go on an elk hunt, since I can comfortably handle a few more pounds, I might go up a couple pounds but nothing more. If you are shooting serious 3-d or indoor spots, then I would recommend lowering the weight well below what is comfortable. This will save the wear and tear on your shoulders as well as prevent fatigue in later rounds. sent from my samsung note 2
Normally not, however this year, I did some thing to my left shoulder wrestling with my son so I turned my bow from 70 to 60lbs. I will make small increases until i`m back up there.
I shoot all my bows just about bottomed out, once I have them set up I don't change the draw weight as it affects too many variables in the bows tune. Draw length, arrow spine, ect ect...... I do have several bows( 60, 65 and 70 limbs) so depending on what I want to shoot, I will choose another bow.
I agree...chaining the weight changes too much stuff. Especially if you bow is set up for a certain DW.
Interesting two worlds of thought. My idea was kind of conditioning myself physically and mentaly. I just don't want it to change my set up and confidence in my bow. 70lbs for hogs during the summer and 65lbs for deer season. Ill probably just leave it at 65#
I like that idea. I had a Mathews M6 that I'm trying to buy back from my buddy just for that reason. It had 80# limbs on it.
