Default RE: draw weight of hunting bow

im shooting 67 now..ill bump it upto 70 in the spring though. i just dont see a reason NOT to shoot it at 70. i went down to 60 and didnt like it because it felt light and i was unsteady. seems i hold steadier when im holding a little more back..i dont know. but 3lbs wont bother me none..at 75% let off its only 18lbs to hold back roughly. and at 67 i have no problem drawing straight back. not like the guys on TV drawing from the sky..gotta laugh when i see them trying to muscle back their bows!

i do agree..well placed shots and sharp heads kill deer..but KE and speed help when you misjudge range(speed) or make a bad hit or hit heavy bone that extra umph might make a diffrence(ke) if someones capable of shooting well at 70+ i see no reason to shoot lighter...
