I know the saying to each his own...but why? Do you hunt rhinos?[8D]

Im jk, sort of, its just with the newer faster bows coming out, I'm looking to go down in draw weight rather than up.

Not sure this will help any, but I THOUGHT the 70# AM35 felt more like a 60# Trykon, and it seriously made my Trykon feel like an OLD Antiquated hunk of junk, from the Draw to the Wall, to the smoothness of let-down, and the feel on release, adding that it's nearly a pound lighter, it's a seriously NICE bow. I too am interested in what an 80#-er would feel like, since the 70 was so smooth and "easy" to pull.

Pretty smart for your age...there are guys 30 years older than you that don't have this much sense.

You are 100% correct TEmbry. I always look to try keep getting lighter since I keep getting plder. With todays bows there is no need for even 70# draw weight. I still shoot 67# but I am looking at going with a new bow this year. I will look for speed (less draw weight) and a good brace height.

My biggest problem is that I have a true 31" draw length. Alot of the new bows are at 30" max.

By the way I am at 31" with a 1/2" string lope. Stinkin MONKEY arms!!!
