Default RE: What Bow Weight Do You Use?

I would start with 55lbs, and shoot it 3 times a week. Then go up by 3-5lbs, and repeat until you're shooting your hunting draw weight. You don't want to start off with a rotator cuff injury. I started with 70lbs and shot three times a week because I could pull it back easily with my right arm. What I ended up with was a sore left shoulder that still hasn't completely gotten back to normal, two years later. I shoot 60lbs for hunting whitetail now.
