It is obvious that we Tradgangers hunt with a variety of bows and bow weights.  If you want to find out what favorite weights are used for hunting, take this poll. (I know many use more than one bow and weight, so vote for your favorite hunting weight.)

I love polls.       Since I shoot two low poundage  bows, I'll vote my favorite of the two which is my 37# bow.

47# Through 52# bows

I think 55-57# @ my draw is about perfect for a hunting weight bow.  I have shot down to 43#,  but, did not like the penetration I got on a big whitetail with that setup.

No one wants to join the 65#+.  I still have a hard time believing there are so few of us.

I am in the "bad shoulder" category.  I will likely start the season around 53# at my draw length and end the season at 44# at my draw length.

Cold weather really seizes up the old shoulder.

If I had to pick just one for all year it would be 46# at my length so I voted accordingly.

My bow is 42# on my scale at my draw length....

43.5# at my draw....45# bow

I have bad shoulder, neck, wrist, hand and finger, yea, a bad brain too!! I love shooting/hunting with a 49-52# (MAX) @28" Setup correctly (and shot placement) will take down anything in North America.

50@28

The curve is shaping up about what I expected. A bell at 50-55.

I used to shoot heavier bows. I used to bounce when I fell out of trees, too. Now? Not so much.

54@27

Once again I'm pretty much in the averages.

one 51# and one 48# at my draw length

My favorites are 65#, 66#, and 75#.

been shooting 50# and droping down to 45# now.50# just getting to mutch for me pull.

My bow is just over 60#@28" but I draw to 30.5", I think I put down 60# - 64#

The bows I shot up until about 5 years ago were all in the 68-74 pound range.  When I hit the big FIVE-O I dropped down to what I'm shooting now, mostly bows in the 58-63 pound range.

I voted my favorite weight which is 50-54# and my Kanati is 53#@28" but it's only 49# at my draw length. I can live with that.

Man I was almost convinced to start going down, now I think I will go up.
