Default Draw Weight

I want to buy a new bow, PSE Triton 2004.
I have to choose what my draw weight on the bow should be.

40 TO 50 LB,
50 TO 60 LB.
AND 60 TO 70 LB.

What is the best one to choose for Hunting and 3D shooting ?

I would guess the 60 - 70 ?

Default RE: Draw Weight

Draw weight should be what you can easily handle on the coldest morning your gonna hunt from a sitting position.

If you have to struggle to get it back then it is too much.
The only way to find out is go test the bow.
No one can tell you what is going to be a comfortable weight for YOU to use.

50 - 60 lbs. is more than enough with todays lite aluminum and carbon arrow technology.
