Do you shoot your heavy bows year round or do you take a break say after the hunting season and drop to a lighter weight for a while?

What do you call "heavy"? I just ordered a #62 that will be coming in a couple of months..

One bow all year. I believe that how one practices determines performance at crunch time.
I shoot the same bow and arrow combination for everything.

I only shoot one bow at a time. Since last March it is 71# at my draw and I see no change coming soon.
