i keep my range short, in the 20 yds range,
at 60# have no problem drawing and holding a few rounds,
multiple practice rounds wears me down and get shaky
I can hold the bow a heck of alot longer and smoother at full draw at 60# than i could at 70#,
and my brothers 55# bow i feel like i could hold it at draw all day

I have a Bear Element that shoots 60-70, over the last 2 seasons i cranked it down from 70 to 62. I barely notice a difference although Im sure if tested, the speed is obviously down but its not noticible to the eye. I've gotten deerat 70, 66 and 62, all shots right where they count and each deer had the same fate in the same amount of time. I'll take the lighter poundage at 60 and be able to hold it at full draw longer and more stable any day
