Bow weight averages

I know it's been done before but I'm a Stick shooter and was wondering what weights you wheel people shoot?

Depends, but normally 60# because I'm more accurate and can hold at full draw longer.

60, it depends how strong you are, if you can barley pull 70 your not going to be able to practice enough with it and get good, but if you can do 60 easily, than you get more shots and practice it.

60s more than enough for a 40 yeard shot and can kill anything.

64#'s

I have an internet ego that would allow me to pull 237#'s if I wanted to.....due to me being so burly and macho......but I stick to 64#'s and feel like I have to justify it.
