Half you boys who swear you can shoot 70#s and draw it all day like its nothing at all know for a fact, or at least are too proud to admit, that you couldn't sit on a park bench, pick your feet up off the ground and draw your bow without leaning back. I know there are folks on here that can do it, I'm sure... and it depends entirely on your bow, but with these new hyper aggressive cams, no way jack. You can probably do it with your Mathews, but you aren't shooting no 320s with your Mathews either, unless you have a draw length like Randy Johnson.
Swamp,
I can do that any day of the week.....and twice on Sundays..........with a 100lb bow.
You also must remember that even though folks live in areas where there are only medium sized game (Whitetails) a lot of folks here have, or will travel to other parts of the country and hunt much bigger game, I know I have.
What's wrong with wanting to put as much KE and arrow mass down range...especially if you can physically do it with no problem?
Will a 60lb bow kill just as good as a 70lb? that's debatable, I believe in certain circumstances the 60lb might be lacking. At some point it has to. Will it ever be substantial enough to make a difference in real world hunting situations? I don't know, but why should I give Mr. Murphy a chance when I don't have to?
In Illinois and North Carolina it will. Where's all the Big game you are worried about? Shooting Brown Bears, Elephants, Rhinos?You're surely not needing a 70# bow for a fragile little whiltetail deer like my 11 year old got a complete passthru on with his 35# setup?
