I'm shooting 45# for hunting (mostly bunnies for now) and target.  I thought about moving up, but want to really get comfortable with one bow. I can shoot 45# a lot more, and more often, than a higher so I'll just enjoy that for now.

My observations:

8 out of 10 bows I sell are between 44# and 53# @ 28".  8 out of 10 people that I check their draw length in my shop while shooting (not holding) draw 27" or less.  Average age of my customers is about mid 40s I'd say.

Anyway I hunt with 48# at 26.5" but shoot all bows I build a hundred times or so before sending them out.  The 71#er I built last month took it's toll on me.  I only shot it about 25 times.  :banghead:

I shoot 57# for everything. (60# at 38", but I pull a little over 27").

All of my bows that I will be hunting with start at 55# and go to 70lbs, doubt I will be hunting with the 70lber this year, still warming up to that one.recently got a blue stripe Super Kodiak at 65lbs, thats gotta get bloody this year!!!!
