Heaviest I've shot on a regular basis was 82#. Like Arthur, I shot in a field archery tournament with it (my first and only) and it whipped my tail. I could handle a 30-40 target range with it, no problem, but field archery was a whole new ballgame. I've bounced back and forth, my lightest being about 48# at my draw. For the last 8 years or so I've been shooting 66#. The heaviest I've shot is around 120 at my draw; heaviest I've pulled was 125@28. I still have the flatbow that is pulling around 120--it's 98@28, but stacks like a bear past about 27". I don't even pull it much--too hard on the fingers and shoulders, and in foam it doesn't penetrate much if any better than my 66# longbow (the flatbow is straight limbed, my longbow is deflex/reflex).

I've noticed a big trend in folks going lighter in draw weight--most are realizing it doesn't take that with the right designto shoot through a deer; and the lighter weights are more fun to shoot and most will shoot more accurately with them. I'm comfortable with 66#, but I know I don't need that much weight. I'll eventually get myself a 50-55# at my draw. Got an 85@30 on order for a special hunt, and after that hunt I'll put that bow on the wall--not going to risk screwing up my joints.
