I do most of my practice at #55 then a month or 6 weeks before the season opens I go to 60# and broadheads. But I shoot alot during the summer. Sometimes a couple hundred arrows a day. I shoot a set of 40 arrows, then go do something else, then shoot for awhile, then do something else, and so on. Hope this helps.

I shoot 65lbs no matter if im practicing or hunting. Ive already been shooting at targets and i still have another 8 or 9 months before season. Im just seeing what the average hunter pulls back.
