with what poundage do you do 90% of your hunting with?

#57 Lbs

I fall in the 50-55lb range. I can shoot all day in this range. I do have a 60lb longbow I love, but can only shoot good for a short while.

41-46#, all longbows.

I shoot everything with the same bow - 70# recurve. I have been shooting the same bow for 18 yrs. Before that I shot a 65# recurve for 17 yrs.

I have bows ranging from about 50 to 62 lbs. Most of my hunting is with the 62 pounder.

I don't hunt anything except deer, so I could not answer your question. I suggest that you divide up your poll.

All of my bows fall within the 47#'s to 54# range. Shot all 5 of my deer(3 last season and 2 this past one)with my Bob Lee HUNTER T/D, 49#'S @ 28"S. 165 fps and 31#'s K.E.

Most of the bow orders I get are between 45 and 55#. I occasionaly get an order for one in the 60s but not often. Bob

61# @ my 29" draw from a longbow, would hunt anything in north america with this setup!mostly hunt deer and bear!

I asked the guy that orderd the 105# limbs what he was hunting? His reply, anything I want,squirrels,rabbits,deer,turkey.When I asked him how many arrows he roasts while squirrel hunting,he said A BUNCH!IM NOT GONNA SASS A MAN THAT HAS A 33" DRAW AND SHOOTS 105#!

Well, I just got a 55# Timberhawk that feels like a toy, but before that all my bows were right at 63# at 29". You wouldn't think almost 10# would feel that different, but it sure does! Arrows seem just as fast too.

I don't hunt elk though unfortunately. I had to guess 50-60 on that.

Wudstix · January 27, 2009, 10:18:00 PM

63-67#

nontypical · January 28, 2009, 05:50:00 PM

First yr of trad. hunting I used a 52# curve.Last 2 yrs Ive taken all my deer with 45-47# curve.

LITTLEBIGMAN · January 28, 2009, 06:48:00 PM

40 to 45
