55# and 57# I liked my bear polar that was 45# better because I could shoot it longer without much fatigue.

Pepper

I use 46# @28SR Swift & 50#@28 Tomahawk SS.
Both seem to get the job done.
Archery is a family sport, enjoy it with your family.

My bows go from 41#-47#. Mostly grab my 42# Pronghorn or 44# BW PCH these days.

45 to 50 ... that's what my shoulder likes ...

Bill Turner

My bows range from 50 to 58 pounds at 28". Hunt mostly with 57@28, 66" Hill "Wild Boar". Just might hunt with a 50@28, 66" Massie "Longhorn" this season to see how she does.    :campfire:

Bluehawk

I started out many many years ago  real heavy and always liked the release of a heavier bow. Back then i had bows form 86# dow to a measly 71#. THEN i had a shoulder injury   had to go way back   had bows in the 58 @26 ( my draw length)   then had naohte rinjury and have beenout of archery for aolmost 9 years jsut got back in a few months ago  now shooting a 45# recurve and a 53#28 IN long bow. Just ordered a new bow at 50@26 I should be fine with that

50 to 54 at 30 inch draw works for me.

Encino Man

I use my 53# @ 28" longbow for everything but bow fishing.

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Missouri Sherpa

69# 29"  Shrew, Carbon/Foam Classic Hunter   It is the cat's Meow for me, only bow I shoot anymore.

Roconman

47# @ my draw seems to be my sweet spot. Never felt under bowed.

54@28 with my Silvertip recurve.That is the chosen bow for this year.

Working up to stay in the 60-65 range slowly.After this year I think I might have some 60# limbs made for the Schafer..Or look for a brown camo set.

FWIW I took my first deer with a 45(Which was actually 48#) Bear grizzly and got a pass thru at 20 yards.

That was with a full length 2216 and a Zwickey Eskimo.

The low bows work just as good.I wouldn't hesitate to hunt deer with a 40# bow if I needed to.

Doug in MN

54-58# That covers the 4 that I hunt the most with and 2 of those are at 57# at my 30" draw.

Two slightly heavier at 62# at 30"
