52 or 53 I think. I was pulling 60 until I got my bowtech, then I lowered it to 50 some lbs. I was thinking about raising it back to 60 bls, but it's getting too close to hunting season to mess with it know. I don't want to risk struggling to pull it back on a cold morning or something. I can pull it back really smooth the way it is and it's plenty fast enough to kill a deer at 20 some yards.

Was shooting 74lb, had the tech put a few extra twists in so it's now just shot of 78lb.
