I like low to mid 60's.  Mainly because I like to shoot 650-800+ grain arrows and still get decent trajectory with those draw weights.

50 to 55 lbs with a 600 grain arrow and ultra sharp broadhead will zip thru pretty much any deer, elk or bear.

When I started bowhunting in the 70's I went from 45/50 to 55/60 till about 2008/2010 or so.When I turned about 60 I found I shot better with 50lbs. plus or minus a few lbs.I have limbs 46 to 53 that I shoot now.Looks like I am back full circle.Kip

My bows range from 45-60# at my draw. Now that I'm 40 I'm liking 50#, it's all about hitting where ya look...

I've gone from 60# to 55# to 50# and now settled at 47# for the past few years ( all at my 30" draw).  Arrow weight at 563gr.  Great performance on deer & bear and would not hesitate to hunt elk or moose with this setup either.  SHARP broadheads and good placement = dead critters!

I've settled in to the 38-40lb range for whitetails. A passthru at 40lbs is easier to see than a passthru at 50lbs.

TOEJAMMER

Usually 60 to 65 but the go to bow is 61 all at 27 inches.  A much cleaner release and been shooting them for many, many years and .....elk are big animals.
