Terry I'm shooting at 60#'s and if I'm correct the Grizzly was a 55 to 70 lbs which would cover the span that your looking for . If your not feeling strong when you start shooting your bow you can start off low and as hunting season get's closer you can crank that baby up to the max .

hmm i'm only shooting 55# for whitetail, everyone else seems to be above 60 most above 65. Is this heavy enough?

Definitely. I killed my first deer with a bow that was set at 40lbs and 25" draw with 26" 1816's and some nice little thunderheads (then again, it was a 3 yard shot lol, I just seem to get TOO close sometimes). I could shoot the lights out with that little bow, sure wish I could still shoot it

Edit: oops, forgot to reply to the original post. I'm shooting my Liberty at 71# year round

64 lbs. here. QT- 50 pounds will effectively kill any animal in North America, so you should be fine.
