55# @ 30"

In our bow club, many of the trad guys made the jump from the wheel bows, and concequently went with the heavier 55-65 pound draw weights. After some time, they gradually reduced those weights to upper 40's to low  to mid 50's#, now, alot of them are congregating around 45# of bow weight. They shoot this weight very well and use them for deer and turkey as well as the trad events they attend. The age range of these guys is 35-65 years old. I also shoot in the 43-51#  bow weight realm...I shoot it better for longer range sessions without sacraficing form. If you can handle the weight, do it. If just shooting a few arrows ,20-30,a session then maybe you want a 55#-60# bow...if not, the lower weight work very well.

It's more than enough... I have killed deer, hogs, and bison with this poundage. no problem.

48-52#@26.5"

45# at 26 1/2" is what i shoot

I have a heavy bow, & a light bow, I shoot the heavier bow better, anyone else like that?
I'm not able to hunt yet because I don't have my bow course, but when I do I will use my heavy bow.

Yes, I find I get a cleaner release. I sometimes will shoot the lighter bow though to work on a smoother release.
