RE: 55# Takes Yukon Moose!!!
I shoot at 70 lbs, I do it comfortably and thats why I stay at 70. That being said, I cant stand to see someone at my club shooting at 70 lbs and strugling everytime they draw their bow. They shoot 15 arrows and they need to take a half hour break. I would much rather see them shooting 55 lbs accurately than sitting in their treestand in the cold for 4 hours and not being able to draw their bow. But they are 20 years old and I have only been bow hunting longer than they have been alive but I dont know what i am talking about.
The other thing I hate is people who dont ever pull out their bow until 2 weeks before the season. I am not saying you need to shoot year round, but 2 weeks out of the year doesnt work for me. If you cant find the time to practice with you bow then you need to switch to a rifle.
