Do yourself a favor, order the 50-60 bow. No need for 70#. I ordered my Guardian at 60-70. After amonth of shooting it, I was getting fatigued and my groups were getting wider. So I had my proshop guy switch out my limbs for 50-60. My groups are much better and I only lost around 10fps. Good Luck

I also agree that you need to get the bow that fits you,that is a 50#-60#.

That bow will kill anything you decide to go after.You NEVER want to get into a situation where you are overbowed.


I am 37 years old and use a 50-60 bow for hunting.It is set at 58# and I have shot through everything Ikilled with it.Heck,I even use mechanicals.[:-]

Go with the one you are comfortable with , 50-60 is more than enough when fully wound up . You will get around 63-64# when its maxed and i'm sure anybody on here will tell you that will kill deer easily .
