I have been shooting 70 lbs. plus for many years, but went to a 50-60 lb last time. It is set a tad more 64 lbs.

If you hunt in cold areas, you may find it very difficult to pull the heaver weight after a long set. Also if you hunt from a setting position it may not always be possible to stand for a shot and you may find it more difficult o pull the extra weight. If your are hunting deer and black bear 50-60 lbs. is good.
