Default RE: 60# or 70# for deer

I don' t move the weight up on my bow until I can pull back, hold for a minute solid, then turn to the target and hit the bullseye. If you can' t do that, I think you should lower the weight, at least for deer. If you can, shoot the maximum that allows you to do that. Most think that' s a bit extreme, but when a buck suddenly turns away at 15 yards, I don' t want to have to let down and spook him. Better to be able to hold solid.
I laugh all the time when some knucklehead at the range has to lift his bow and point his arrow up in the air to pull back. I hope he impresses folks at the range, the deer won' t be amused.
