35# being the min poundage for most states,
if they felt 35# wasnt enough sure regs would indicate higher min,
i been shooting a 60-70# and have been looking for a 35# for small game,
would like the ease and speed of drawing a light bow over +60#

for big game, although legal, would be hesitant to go with 35# bow,
but would probably go with a 40-50# bow,
lighter poundage does make it easier to keep your bow steady and on the mark longer.
