I have a shoulder injury and would like to buy a bow that has an easy draw so I can keep my draw weight at 65 pounds. Any recommendations???

Poundage is poundage when it comes from bow to bow unless your talking the higher end letoffs and your still pulling the same poundage until the drop off. Most of todays bow have a smooth draw and I can't say one pulls easier than the other.....poundage is poundage.

Go with an Oneida, they look crazy, but from what Im told you can pull 75 but it only feels like 65, because of the lever system. Alot of injured people shoot Oneidas because they are so smooth draw bow. I shoot an Oneida Phantom II and the bow is SWEET, although its 10 years old. I will never go back to a darn "wheely" bow, will only buy Oneidas til the day I die, or until they go out of business, Which shouldnt happen anytime soon. But anyways, Go with a Oneida Black Eagle, you wont be disappointed. If you have any questions on Oneidas, come over here...

Your best bet would be to get a bow with lower poundage. I shoot 50 pounds and have passed through ever deer I have shot at. I even passed through deer at 40 pounds. Save your shoulder, lower the poundage go to a good fixed blade broadhead like Muzzies or Thunderheads and you will have no problems!

Smoothest drawing bow I have tried yet is the Bowtech Liberty ! It has a very even draw that doesn't have any harsh peaks or rollover to the backwall..........just a nice steady pull all the way back !

Look for a bow with eccentric wheels. I'd stay away from single cams, and hatchet cams. Hoyt, Reflex Carribou, PSE, Bowtech, etc. have eccentric wheel bows available. I'm sure there are many more also.

Rob, I agree in a general sense, but different cam systems and shapes keep you at peak poundage for different lengths of time, making the effort required to draw the same poundage different.

Take a 70# Bowtech Black Knight dual cam vs. a 70# Liberty, or a 70# Mathews Black Max vs a 70# Outback, all hit peak poundage, but the speed bows hit it fast and keep you there almost all the way back, while the other two slowly ramp up to peak then down to the wall.

Several manufacuters currently offer mild force draw curve cams such as the two mentioned and add Parker, Jennings, Darton and a host of others. If the original poster is intent on shooting "65#", I think his best bet is to try one of these cam styles and see how it treats him, but if he still finds it too harsh on the shoulder, don't be afraid to drop down in pounds until you find a range you are comfortable with, then simply choose an arrow broadhead combo and still be able to zip one clean through...

Check out the MATHEWS ICON.

My vote is for the Parker EZ-Draw cam. Parker offers this cam on two different style bows and from what I've heard, both are excellent. I shoot an EZ-Draw 33 maxed out at 60 lbs. I am very capable of pulling 70 or even 75 lbs, but I wanted something I could pull comfortably, while sitting if necessary. This bow does that, gives me decent speed, great accaracy, and is SUPER QUIET. Check online for the Parker dealer nearest you and go give one a try. And no, I'm not a Parker salesman either

I'd go along with the wheel bows, they have an easy draw to them, downside is since they don't store as much engery they are not as fast. If your looking to draw 65 lbs look at wheels for easy draw. Hoyt's got the wheel and a half out now, wonder how that would be???
