It is funny most people think that if you go higher # bow that there is no advantages. I my self shoot 78# and a full length arrow nd a 150 magnus. I do have to put my foot up to pull out my arrows :}. I am looking for a new bow that is 80to 90# I will take a trip over seas soon .I will allso use the bow here in MT for elk and all. I have never saw a bow that is to strong do any thing like a rifle blow off a leg or anything like that.
I will get my bow target shoot at 90# then turn it down so i can draw the bow very very slow like in shooting situation.If you can draw a bow slow like that there should be no big deal on the poundageyou shot.

TRY this put your arm out strate like your going to shot and draw your bow slowly if you can do this than you are shooting a good poundage for you,if you cant trun your bow down.
