What's everybody's draw weight?

Unread postby hunting_dad » Mon Jan 04, 2016 8:17 am

The topic on arrow weight got me to wondering what the average draw weight is for everyone. With all of the improvements in bow efficiency and speed I'm curious if anyone has actually dropped in draw weight from what they used to shoot. I used to shoot 70 lbs. for years and have been shooting 60lbs. for probably the last 7 years or so with my compound. My longbow and recurve are both around 48 lbs at my draw length.

So let's hear it.....what's your draw weight?

I used to think higher the better so always shot around 70. Now I get the 65# limbs and shoot between 63-65. Much more comfortable especially in the late season.
