Default RE: 50 to 60 or 60 to 70

The so called rule of thumb says to shoot at the max poundage but I wonder some times if that rule still applies to modern bows like Bowtechs. When I look at mine with locking pivoting limb pockets I think I would need to see some actual lab tests to prove that theory to me. And really with the speed of the new bows now I bought a 60lb max this time since I know people who have taken 1000 lb moose with that setup with no problems at all. I hunt moose, deer and black bear and don't feel undergunned at all.
