Default RE: 60lb pull good or go bigger?

What type bow are you talking about. There are so many differences in "60 lb. bows". For example I started off shooting a P.S.E. Thunderflight that I was pulling 72 lbs. with and getting 228 ft. per sec. which is pretty slow, and that was with an overdraw. Today I'm shooting a new P.S.E. and pulling about 62 lbs. and getting around 275-278 ft. per sec. Just because a bow has alot of pull weight doesn't mean it is any better than a bow with lesser weight. Also your limbs may be rated at 60 lbs. but you can probally get a little more out of them if you crank it up if needed. Just make sure that whatever you end up doing that you are not struggling to draw your bow. You can get into some very different situations while hunting that you won't in your back yard.
