RE: Who thinks you need more than 60 lbs?
I shoot 58 lbs. I don't remember off hand what my draw length is, but I think its 28". The last deer I killed with it was a doe at 15 yards. My arrow hit just a little bit further forward than I wanted and drilled the shoulder blade.But that didn't stop my arrow, neither did the shoulder blade on the opposite side. The arrow was laying on the ground a few feet from where she was standing when I shot.
Unless you are hunting a few specific animals that are dangerous and extremely tough, draw weight it not what kills. Thats only 1 factor in the equation. Draw weight, arrow length, arrow weight,haveing the correct arrow spline for your draw weight,kenetic energy, good sharp broad heads, correct shot placement, and limiting your maxium shooting distanceis what kills. But no, you don't need heavy draw weight to kill most big game with. In fact you might be better off with a lower draw weight.
