Dan, you better start Eating some Meat and Taders Man, I once held a 70# bow so long waiting for a shot, a Bird made a nest on my arm, then layed eggs in it! Don't ask me what kind of Bird it was, I don't remember.

I am comfortable at different weights with different bows.

6' 2" 175lbs.

Reflex Buckskin 75% let-off 65#

I have shot 70# in the past but came to the realization that i don't need that much so why shoot it. 65# will blow through any deer or elk if the arrow is placed with precision.

I think that is pretty universal... I know that is the case in Indiana! MY current draw weight is 70lbs but I haven't used my bow in over a month after spraining my thumb (left one and I'm right handed) hurts like hell to hold my bow correctly and I don't want to learn any bad habits!
