Default RE: What Bow Weight Do You Use?

i shoot 75 lbs....you need to start w/a weight that you feel comfortable with. when i say "comfortable" i don't mean what you can draw when its 70 degrees outside and you're wearing a tee-shirt. im talking about what you can draw after sitting in a treestand in 30 degree weather for 2 hrs w/3 layers of clothes on. i've seen far too often guys make the mistake of overbowing themselves for field conditions just because they can shoot 30 shots in a 3d tourney. also huntinfool14 said he killed deer w/40 lbs. that may be however check your states hunting laws because some states have minimum draw weights for hunting. here in Ohio you can't deerhunt w/a bow less than 45 lbs.
good luck.
