Default RE: Question concerning bow poundages

VAboy, it's been said bows shoot best at peak weight. I don't believe this to be totally true. Manufacturers today feel it make little difference to turn them down some. Some are a little louder turned down, some not. I shoot 60# bows set around 55-57#. That's what feels best to me. I can pull them back in any weather or clothing, without pointing away from my intended target. The less gyrations as you draw, the better. I think it ultimately come down to what feels best to the shooter. As the others have said, too much weight is not helping your accuracy.

Phil.
