RE: 60 pounds
I have a Reflex Buckskin with 50-60lb limbs set at 60lbs wit a Muzzy drop away rest. Chrono speed is 286fps. The last deer I shot was a complete pass thru at 12 yds and the broadhead was completely buried in a tree on the other side of the deer. A 60lb draw bow properly set up ,and used at appropiate, ranges can kill just about anything you want to kill as long as you can put the arrow in the right place. For a grizzly I would suggest a firearm backup and/or hunting from a tree stand.

RE: 60 pounds
anything is possible with the new xforce
Kidding. I shot 60lbs last year and got a passthru on my only shot. Not calling myself chicken but I don't think I'd stick and string a grizzly with 70lbs. lol. I would say it COULD be done, but I, myself, aren't going to try it.

RE: 60 pounds
60#'s is plenty for grizzly if you pick your shots and your opportunities carefully, but that's true of any shot that's getting thrown at something that can eat you! I wouldn't suggest shooting over 30 yards unless you're using an exceptionally heavy arrow. The big question is; can you shoot a grizzly once you're within 30 yards?
