Default RE: 60lb pull good or go bigger?

People get way to caught up in draw weight. Fact is that bows have been kiling deer for MANY years and modern compounds are way more powerfull than they use to be. People take deer and bigger game every year with 45-50 pound recurves and even under 40 lbs compounds (where legal).

Match the bow to YOU, then match the arrow and BH to the bow and you will have a whitetail killing machine as long as you do your part and only take shots in your effective range and hit where you need to hit!

I hunt with 63 lbs and in Sept shot it through about 3-4 feet of elk, through a rib and found the arrow 30 yards on the other side of the elk laying in the grass. For whitetails it has never failed to pass through, usually burying 8-12 inches into the ground.

Take good shots, with a SHARP broadhead and you will be all set.
