NY, Colorado requires a minimum of 35 pounds of draw weight to legally hunt deer, elk and moose. You are well armed with a 60 pound bow. The big thing you gotta remember is to use a relatively heavy arrow with a good fixed blade head to get the most out of your bows stored energy and to maximize penetration.

A 60 pound bow will EASILY kill anything that you will hunt on this continent. Regardless of how much weight you are pulling you gotta get it into the vitals. It's not like a bullet were you get a hydrostatic shock effect that makes up for some marginal hits.

You gotta remember that people have been killing the largest of game animals with 50 and 60 pound bows for dacades when bows were muuuuuuuuch slower and muuuuuuuch less efficient. Todays bows are leaps and bounds better at accelerating any weight arrow than they were just 10 - 15 years ago.

When you go shop for bows sit flat on the floor with your legs crossed and draw the bow straight back with out lifting it to the sky. If you can do this you are not over bowed. If you can't then drop the weight down until you can and then take another half turn for good measure.
