Coupled with the scale Jeepnut sent me, I've been playing with different draw weights to see what I might want to hunt with this fall.

I've had no problems drawing 70# in a tree after sitting in the cold, but 62# is so freaking easy to draw it's not even funny

Anyway, set my chrony up, tested the DW, bow was still set on 62# from yesterdays shooting. Draw length is 28", arrow is a 375 grain ACC 349.

62#- 5 shot average of 275 fps. Wow, not bad at all, definitely more than I was expecting. Made me smile, kind of like this

66#- 3 shot average of 280 fps. For only 5 more fps, the noticeable ease of draw difference makes 62# a no brainer. I was kind of perplexed that I only got 5 more fps out of 5# more DW. I expected more.

70#- 3 shot average, 285, right where I was last time I chronied my set up, although my bow is now in spec with a correct and shorter draw length (about 1/2").

I have some doubt about the last two strings, as my battery was fading. Need to get a fresh one and repeat, but the results from 70# put me pretty much in the ballpark from when it was fresh.

Assuming the results hold true, my clear choices seem to be shoot at 70# with 68'#s of ke, or 62# with 63'#s of ke. 62#s is looking pretty sweet right now... Plenty of ke, almost identical tragectory out to the distances I'll shoot and so easy to draw it's comical.
