I pull 70 lbs at 301 fps. I could pull 80 lbs, just aint worth tearin up the shoulder for future shooting.

70...I worked up to it a pound or two at a time, knowing that it is not worth sacrificing good shooting form for extra speed.

I got uncle Art in my shoulders so bad, I got mine set at 55 to help with the pain. I'm shootin 210 with Alumn. 2315's but just switched to Carbons, but don't know how fast they are. But should be about the same, it's not as fast as most of u guys, but it's still dropping deer.

I shoot a Mighty Mite @ 70lbs and im only 5'7" 145 lbs. These Bowtechs feel like you are pulling back 60lbs tho, so that makes it easier on the shoulder.

I've got both my Tribute and Allegiance set at exactly 65... I could easily pull way more, but I can wear thick, bulky clothing in cold weather and still pull this extremely smoothly without having to "aim at the sky"... For my pure hunting needs, I prefer to be able to just aim at the deer and slowly and smoothly draw back.
