Default RE: draw weight ?

i have heard the same from a lot of people. and i think it is very important to shoot what comforts you. a bow performs best at its peak draw weight, dropping a few pounds wont change much with that. my bow peaks at 73 lbs but i shoot it at 70. i have no problem drawing 70 and with 80% let off holding it is not trouble either. i imagine taking the # down will help with accuracy but remember you will lose both speed and energy. everyone has different oppinions about this but i feel that if i can get the max energy out of my bow i will. maybe you could drop your bow down (resight your bow of course) and after the season turn it back up and maybe by next year you could shoot 70# with no problem. remember too that even shooting 30 arrows at 60#s will still make your arm a little tired. i hope i helped a little! good luck
