QTompkin's 55# will definetly do the job ,just remember the range you shoot should be kept within the 30yrd marker. The longer you shoot the less effective your 55# is going to be.

I hunt at 73 lbs, 65% let off. This 03 patriot dually shoots faster at 73 than my 01 hoyt hypertech, redline cam, shot at 80 lbs, 80% let off. I practice with a duplicate bow at 63, 75% of the time.

I shoot around 55lb I love how smooth it is, and trust this is enough to kill any North American game and most African game with the properly placed arrow. Arrow placement is everthing so practice practice practice.

I cranked my Patriot all the way to 72#. I as long as it's comfortable enough I'll keep it there. I shot a management doe late season and I get so geeked when I see deer felt like 40#. But I suppose as I age I may feel different. But whatever's comfortable for you sitting, kneeling, and maybe aqward positions is what you should go with. Any bow today will be sufficient at minimal weight laws. Shot placement is EVERYTHING. However the more you can mangage obviously the more effective it will be.

Up until this year 70#s. I dropped to 60#s this year. Took 1 Buffalo, 1 Buck, 1 Doe, 1 Wild Hog-all pass throughs.
I like a bow I can pull with no problems sitting down-just point-pull, shoot.
