60lbs.is plenty to kill a whitetail,I shoot 61lbs maxed out I shoot a rage 2in.two blade broadhead,Devastating at 22yds.looks like the deer was shot with a rifle,complete pass threw,if you hunt in cold weather you will appreciate the 60lb.bow over the 70lb. 60lbs. is a lot easier to draw when it's cold out especially if you have been sitting a long time your muscles all get relaxed..........Ted

if you're mostly going to hunt Deer, a 45# is about the minimum i'd dare to use. i'm shooting a 65# with 2315 aluminum shaft arrows with 125gr 3 blade fixed broadheads and i'm confident that i could take most things in North America with it. (maybe not buffalo)

the thing to remember is that you're shooting razor blades. cutting into an animal isn't a problem. just try not to hit a shoulder blade and you should be fine

I was just watching an old Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild episode last night on Mossyoak.com and he is a huge proponent for shooting light, smooth bows. They were moose hunting and he was shooting a 53 lb bow and his son was shooting a 50 lb bow with no problems.
