Default Bowtech or Bear

Ok I have a Bear paw bow and a Bowtech Samson a Samson can only drop to 70 lbs but can go up to 90 or more. the bear paw its at 60lbs and I think thats the most it will go,I think my question is wich one shouldI use this year? I mean my Bowtech its kinda of a struggle to pull, but I can pull it, after my third shot it gets really tough! but my bear paw at 60 lbs its a breeze, I mean when it gets cold I bet it will be harder to pull the Samson right? so some advice plz
Thanks

go with the one that is easier to pull, cuz you would be surprised at how hard it is to pull in a cold stand expecially if you get the adrenaline pumpin. go with the easy one 60 will blow right through a deer.

Get out there and practice, that's the only way you'll really know, where exactly you need to aim. Keep in mind WHERE the vitals are INSIDE the deer, not where they appear on a target!!!

Good Luck!!

I just bought a Bowtech Allegiance Sunday and set it at 62 lbs. I was shooting a Fred Bear TRX 32 at 70 lbs but it was a little too much to pull when it got cold. But I was amazed that my Bowtech is shooting just as fast and with more kinetic energy than my TRX. I think if you choose the right arrow to go with the weight, you definitely won't miss the poundage.
