I hear ya. You can also take a 50# Bowtech and and a 60# Bowtech and the 50# will shoot quieter.I know this as I happen to have a wife that shoots low poundage bows. Like it or not Bigj; it is a fact; LOWER POUNDAGE BOWS ARE QUIETER.

Half you boys who swear you can shoot 70#s and draw it all day like its nothing at all know for a fact, or at least are too proud to admit, that you couldn't sit on a park bench, pick your feet up off the ground and draw your bow without leaning back. I know there are folks on here that can do it, I'm sure... and it depends entirely on your bow, but with these new hyper aggressive cams, no way jack. You can probably do it with your Mathews, but you aren't shooting no 320s with your Mathews either, unless you have a draw length like Randy Johnson.

Swamp,

I can do that any day of the week.....and twice on Sundays..........with a 100lb bow.;)

You also must remember that even though folks live in areas where there are only medium sized game (Whitetails) a lot of folks here have, or will travel to other parts of the country and hunt much bigger game, I know I have.

What's wrong with wanting to put as much KE and arrow mass down range...especially if you can physically do it with no problem?

Will a 60lb bow kill just as good as a 70lb? that's debatable, I believe in certain circumstances the 60lb might be lacking. At some point it has to. Will it ever be substantial enough to make a difference in real world hunting situations? I don't know, but why should I give Mr. Murphy a chance when I don't have to?

In Illinois and North Carolina it will. Where's all the Big game you are worried about? Shooting Brown Bears, Elephants, Rhinos?You're surely not needing a 70# bow for a fragile little whiltetail deer like my 11 year old got a complete passthru on with his 35# setup?

I agree Bowtech is the best marketed bow right now

Then I'll ask again......why don't you go all "stealth Ninja", Don and shoot 40#'s?:D

RE: Running your Corvette in O/D

Man all this thread has done is made me confused on what limbs i should get on my new bow. I don't know what to do now.

I like to shoot 60# bows which are still WAY over the recommended kinetic energy to kill an Alaskan Brown bear. I hunt big game out of the country and in NM. 40# bows aren't recommended for Brown bearsand I live in a state where we actually have big game. A whitetail deer, especially in Southern states like NC are scrawny. Believe me, in IA our deer are huge compared to yours body wise and a 60# bow is overkill.

As with most everything else in life you should do what YOU think is best for you, NOT what some guy with a made up name on the internet thinks is what is best for you ;):D.
