Thumbs up

I personally shoot a PSE Mohave, its about 10 years old, it was a hand-me-down from my dad because we both shoot the same draw length and I shoot it maxed out at 65 lbs (eventhough it says max weight is 70, it is really only 64-66 lbs), a weight my dad never shot it at, he usually kept it around 55 lbs. What I like about the increasd poundage is there is literally no difference in height/drop from 10 yards all the way up to 45 yards. Once I found this out my dad took his new Mathews bow (only 1 year old) up to 65 lbs and he started noticeing it shooting the same way. We both have our bows set up with one single sight pin to shoot with and we hit targets consistantly at 10-15-20-25-30-35-40-45 yards with absolutely zero compensation for height/drop. It takes the yardage guess work out. So I would recommend personally the higher poundage.
