60#
I can draw heavy bows up over 100# but with my 30" draw length and high performance bows there just isn't a need for heavy draw weights for me.
I can get 70# ft lbs+ of KE out of a 60# bow and the ability to draw or let it down extremely controlled in any position or weather.
Nothing like sliding back a 60# bow when the pressure is on. There's no worrying about struggling with getting er' back, and once it is........that's all she wrote.

I'm just a little whimp and shoot 58#'s. I can shoot a little more #'s if I yaught too, but I can hold it for an extended period of time without having to let up. Seems like that elk/deer always freezes up behind a tree and then it becomes a waiting game.

I normaly have to draw my bow early. So I have to hold my bow at full draw for a long time.I can tell you if I hold my bow for to long than let it up I do have a hard time drawing it back.But I normaly draw my bow the slower than most draw there bow set at way less #.

Around 55 for me. Just more comfortable for me and I shoot all year long. I use 450 grn arrows and only get around 200 fps with a bowtech mighty might. Seems to work well for me.
