Draw weight

The heaviest bow I ever drew was a 150 elephant bow made by jennings at an archery  shoot.  I pulled it back 6 or 8 times right handed then did the same left handed and handed it back to him.  Didn't think much of it until the day.  I have hunted with very heavy stuff, but these days low 50s will do.

53lbs  at my my draw length

[Brently]

60lb, and 55lb, depending on the bow and my mood.

Really depends on what critter I'm after...

55# - 73# at my 29" draw, but for deer I seem to gravitate to my 60# Shawnee, she has done me well...

[Bonebuster]

I have shot the same Predator for over ten years, it weighs in at 73 lbs at my draw length. A 650 to 750 grain arrow from it carries alot of energy.  

I hope to order a new fancy looking Predator in March, and I`m gonna get it the same specs as the one I have.

43#er

[riivioristo]

42 - 65#, but my no.1 bow is 54# MA III and usually around 50# seems to be best for me.

[Horne Shooter]

I have them from 49 to 77.  My favorite is about 53 at my draw.  The 77 only gets broken out for stuff like on my avitar photo. Way too hard on the shoulders to shoot every day.

Was hunting with a 65# recurve. When it got cold down here I was afraid I'd be too stiff to make a good shot so I dropped back to my 55#. That's feelin' right too me.

[nightowl1]

My favorite is 50# plus or minus 2 or 3.

[Luthersbowshootingdaddy]

40#to55# 52# is my favorite

[gpa fishin]

44#@26" longbow 47@26 recurve

[Robert Honaker]

55...cause I want my shoulders to stay intact so I can hunt when I turn grey.

[Old York]

149 pounds @ 17.3 inches   :D

[marlon]

Mine is a hill 150# and a JD mojo recurve bow 146#.

[bearsfeet]

switched bows and now am @ 47lbs

[Altiman94]

47# @ 28.  Seems to work ok, haven't gotten on any big game with it yet, though.

[RLA]

42# to 45# @29" is real comfortable for me.

[acadian archer]

41# on my one piece but I'm looking at a 45# Chek Mate Hunter II.

[Got2strum]

Anywhere from 77# - 85# at my draw. No snapshooting, draw , anchor, release when feels right. But that being said I think I may get a lower weight whenever I get another. Maybe 65#, which would be bout 70# for me. Easier to find and tune arrows.
