Default RE: 60# versus 70#...No difference in power? Maybe

My bow IBOs right alongside the rest of them in the list, yet I get 10ft/lbs more KE.

I didn't mean your numbers were made up or incorrect for your bow, just that the difference between a 70# bow and 60# bow are greater than this makes it out to be.

Im not saying 60# isn't enough, heck I am going that route myself on the next bow...just saying that there IS a difference between 60-70 lb bows, regardless of speed...its just that with todays numbers, the difference no longer matters. It still exists, but with KE and speeds so high now, either one is WAY more than enough.

Not worth arguing over either way...both poundages are more than enough to tackle anything your or I will likely bowhunt for. The "how faRr into the dirt" question comes to mind here.
