    ...Draw weight?
    How many pounds do you pull? Compound or Trad? What is most common game you hunt?

    My compound is just over 60#'s, set up for whitetail.

    62# for whitetail, and grouse from the stand, but I dial it down in the spring to 57# for the elusive red squirrel.:deer:

    I'm pulling 52# with my Longbow. I don't limit myself to one certain animal, my deer hunt could turn into a rabbit hunt in a blink of an eye! :cool:

    My Vectrix peaks around 69#, slinging an 495 grn arrow, 125 grn BH, bow mass weight pushes 6 to 7 lbs total, and I weigh a mean 186. I don't think any other weights apply. :d

    Right around 55#'s. All my arthritic creaky shoulders can handle, but still plenty for deer :deer:
