LBR pretty much summed it up.I made the same mistake as him and ordered my first longbow at 70# ( figured no problem seeing as I was pulling 84 on my wheel bow ) Wrong.I now shoot 55-60# and am much more accurate and confident.45# is plenty for deer and turkeys as long as you have a nice sharp broadhead and take the time to tune your bow.Good luck and shoot straight

SHOOT STRAIGHT >>>--------> Troy
