RE: Are we drawing too much?
High draw weights certainly aren' t needed to make efficient kills on big game. Very sharp broadheads, well tuned bows and accurate shooting is what takes down game easiest.
I set my draw weight to match the arrow' s spine that I' m shooting. I have found that getting a perfect spine match gives me better flying broadheads. My current 70 lb draw bow is set at 63 lbs, because that matches the spine of my 55/75 gold tips very closely.
