I shoot 50#. I'm more accurate, and it's the shot placement that counts.

I shoot at 60 with my 3D bow and 65 for hunting. Anything between 50 and 70 pounds is typically the norm. 60 seems like a nice number.

My outback is set to 60#, nice and easy to pull back and with the 65% letoff you can hold it all day if you have to.

Like already mentioned,anything between 50-70 lbs is all that is required.Have a good sharp broadhead and everything will fall into place with a good accurate shot.
Another thing to remember also is not to over do it on the cold days,it just seems to be much harder to draw back a bow when you sit on stand for 3 hours in -25c weather
