I'm jumping in here late but i want to add some thought to this (might have been said),

All of my buddies (aged 16-23) think the "only" way to shoot is to have their bows maxed out at 70+ pounds, and they always rag on me for my 55lb draw. Yet whenever we shoot more than a few rounds of arrows, or, if its on the colder side of things, they have trouble drawing their bow. Now i can pull back their 70lb bows, but i don't like to. Especially if a big buck is coming down the trail my way, i don't want to have to deal with straining to get my bow pulled back.

Ive never had my bow chrono'd and if i did the numbers probably wouldn't be that great, but it kills deer and i limit my shots to 25 yards anyways....so it works for MY setup.
