I found this interesting after the 60# - 70#bow debate. I read article today by Dwight Schuh(editor of Bowhunter Magazine) on his Yukon moose hunt Aug/Sept 2007. His choice of equipment is a Mathews Switchback @ 55Lbs. This just shows what a well placed shot will do.
Now I not saying that you should not shoot 70#, I’m saying that you don’t have to. And should not feel like less of a hunter because you don’t have a heavy weight bow. A 45# well placed shot works better then a bad 70# shot or miss. Feel good about what you shoot and don’t over bow your self.
