I shoot 65 to 70 lbs. but basically only shoot daytime. I think 55 lbs is a good all-around weight. Getting arrows out of the bottom........HHHMMMMMM well at 65 lbs shooting in the cattails with a 4 barb head, sometimes it takes 2 guys pulling to get them out. Anywhere else its not bad at all. If I was shooting nighttime in cattails I would use a 2 barb head and lower my weight alot. I'll have a new strategy for the cattails during the day this year!

Good Luck!
