I'm thinking about taking a new approach to business and see how it works.  So tell me: what draw weight does everyone like to shoot?  I don't need reasons, or discussions about if it's too light (not that it happens much here) too heavy etc. Just your individual weight or weight range you prefer.  Thanks everyone.

40-42 targets, and 48-50 hunting. It used to be more when I was younger!

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Most of my bows are 50#.Seems to be the right poundage for me.

Mike. Just a thought, why don't you set up a poll on here, more research based less reading. And you can do a scale of 5# increments.
45-50 for me

42 - 48 works for me (I'm 74). I lean toward the lighter for 3-D and the higher end for hunting.

Between 52#-57#@28 my bow I shoot the most right now is 66" 56#@28, but drawing right at 29.5"-30" so its closer to 62#. Actually prefer bows between 62"and 64". This Robertson at 66" is very smooth shooting.

50-60, I was going to recommend a poll like Matty did, I thought 5 0r 10# ranges
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
