Mine are usually around 60lbs for 3D during the summer. For hunting I dig out the bow set at 53/54lbs.

Buckstruck, what do ya mean you're gonna have it "put" to 60lbs. Who's doing it? Do it yourself and in stages. Try about 1/2 turn on the limbs each week. That's about 1 1/2lbs on most bows. It gives your muscles time adjust to the new weight and build up to handle it. It's a whole lot easier than just adding 8 lbs all at once.
