RE: What do we do now?
Now I will fully admit up front I am not a bow expert. I have been hunting with and shooting a bow for 3 seasons now. But my experience has taught me a very elementary lesson and that is the higher the poundage the faster the arrow. The faster the arrow the flatter the shot. Flatter shots, at least for me, means better accuracy. Better accuracy means more confidence. So for me higher poundage does equal an advantage. I very comfortably shoot a 70 lb. bow and I wouldn't turn it down ever as long as I am physically able to comfortably draw it.
