I pull 62lbs. I can do up to 70lbs, but I prefer a little lighter weight so when I am nervous pulling back on a deer in the freezing cold, it is a little easier to do.

My draw weight is 60lbs. I'm comfortable with this set up.

50-60 because its more than enough to kill any animal, and you can practice alot more than 70 lbs

The best draw weight is the one on your bow. Assuming you are comfortable with it.
best draw weight depends on the shooter and the game

this is exactly right,i shouldent have wrote what i wrote because what if your a body builder and can pull 70 or 80 lbs like nothing, if your a thin little guy than maybe 55 pounds is good, but never do to much because even tho your bow will shoot faster, you wont be able to practice enough with it and it will be use less.

Mines maxed out at 71#. (There's no 70+ in the poll.) It's more than anyone needs for whitetails but then, I hunt bigger stuff than whitetails.
