I like easy on my Body. I used to hunt with 90#, then 80#, then 70#, Like Don says 60# is just easier on the body. I shot a 90# bow last year at the range with some young guys just to proveto myself I could still do it. Makes me realize how much needless wear and tear I put on my joints all those years.You shoot bows for 40 years and chances are your joints will wish you hadn't used so much overkill. I know I wish I had switched to 60# years before I finally did. A lot ofBowhunters are beginning to see the light.

Dan, I understand the easier on your body thing, but you have to be talking apples to apples. Would shooting my bow 10 lbs. less than what it is now be easier, yes. Would it be as effective, not in all cases. To get the same performance at less weight you have to gain that speed from somewhere. That usually comes in the draw cycle. I prefer to have a less agressive draw cycle with a forgiving brace and valley at a higher weight than a more aggressive draw cycle with a shorter valley or shorter brace at a lower weight. That doesn't make it right or wrong, just my preference.

Even with my draw weight that high I still don't blow through every puny PA or NJ whitetail that I shoot, so I'm not changing a thing.
Dude, You need to work on shot placement. Maybe if you weren't overbowed you could hit what you were aiming for. If your arrow isn't blowing totally through the deer and sticking in the dirt 3" than you better step up to a 90# bow as you are a lousy shot.

Kinda an a hole statement right there.

Dead is dead is dead is dead. I like quiet
My bow is quiet, never had a problem with a deer ducking etc because of bow noise.

Why is his arrow not getting a passthru; Good shot placement then? I have never been a sugar coater.

Actually Jeff, One of our favorite shows is 2 1/2 men and you remind us of Charlies' brother to a t. All this from a guy that sold his harley after a short ownership as it scared him to ride it.
