im at 50#s and i am happy with it no need to even think about shooting out to 30 yards. not that im not comfertable with that shot, just i dont think that it is a good shot to make on an animal. All of these big # bows are nice and all, yeah they are fast but they arnt really all that necassary to me. If i were you keep it where its at and only shoot out to about 25 yards. just my 2 cents
