I shoot a 70lb Iceman set at 64#. That seems to be the sweet spot for that particular bow. I use to shoot a bow that was max at 60lb and went up some. One thing to remember is that if you have a lot of clothing on and you have been sitting in the cold for a while, and/or drawing from a sitting position, it may be harder to draw a heavier draw weight than it would be on a range in warmer weather.
