Take a Poll on Bow Weight

[JRY309]

I have bows from 45# to 73#,my favorite weight range are my bows from 55# to 65#.I shoot these mostly anymore.

[COLongbow]

48# @ 29 draw. Comfortable to shoot all day, but plenty of speed on a 515 gr arrow. Out of a Lost Creek that is!

[hvyhitter]

Mine are 3@60#, 2@65# and 1@69# so I voted 60-64.

46-50# @ 29"......works for me!

[SERGIO VENNERI]

64 years old and still shooting 58-62#'s.

When I was younger mid 60's worked fine.
with these stiff joints 50 is just fine.
not ready to set on the porch yet.  

[smokin joe]

I like the results. Seems pretty sensible.

[bigbadjon]

I like my bows in the 60ish range. I think 50ish is fine for hunting but the increased performance is worth the extra weight to me.

[rooster77]

55# @ 27

Sergio, Your the man at 64, Good for you on those heavier bows. That is what I was shooting in my 40's. After years of shoulder issues everything is in the low to mid 40# range! Matched up with the right arrow I get excellent cast.

[Roots]

I am more consistent shooting 45# bows, can draw and hold.

[Archie]

While I would probably feel more confident with a 53-58# bow, I like the feel of my 48# longbow and 49# recurve.  I also shoot a 60# recurve and 65# longbow, and have no qualms with them... but I enjoy the lighter ones more.  I draw a solid 31", and my style is to draw and hold for a couple of seconds or so.

A shoulder injury has sidelined me for the time being, though.

[Thumper Dunker]

55-65 works for me.

[jcprintz]

50 @ 27" for me

[swampthing]

63#@27"

[pauljr]

59lbs @ 31inches works nicely for me

[champ38]

My prefered wt is 67@29 1/2".

[JCJ]

50#-55# at my 31-32" draw depending on the bow
