Default RE: Newbie to Archery, Draw Weight?

With today's bows a 60lb draw can handle its own. Look at the BowTech Equalizer. It is a 60lb bow with only 27.5'' DL and shooting over 300FPS.

Since you are 6ft. You should have a good DL, so even with a 60lb bow you would be able to get most of the speed that the bow can produce.

I really don't think that body size has anything to do with draw weight. I've seen guys 1/2 my size shoot 80lb draws with ease. Mine stays set around 67lbs.
