55#@28" but I draw 29.5" so I'd guess 58 or 59#.

Last year it was 70#, but I am shooting a 60# right now and it feels so much better than the 70#. I turned 40 this year, so I ain't the man I used to be.

My bow tops out at 71#. From 30 yards I backed out the adjustment screws a full turn and a half before my point of impact even started to change so that's where I'm leaving it. I figure that there's no point in wearing out my shoulders any more than neccesary. If I was hunting something larger than small Florida deer in palmetto thickets I might turn it up for the extra speed and KE but right now it's not needed. Using my buddies cheap scale we're estimating it at 63#. We used a 50# weight and a couple of 10# weights to calibrate the scale, it was off by over 17# light when he bought it. We new something was wrong when his 70# switchback that was maxxed out and verified at the shop registered 53#. Only proves that you get what you pay for.
