I see most of you guys are running about 70#

Im new to bow hunting... Sounds like i need to turn mine up from 60...

Actually if you shoot the 60# comfortably than stick with that. In reality the 70# in modern bows today does nothing more than keep the pin gap smaller. The FPS out of new bows from a 60 to 70 is minimal at best.

Naa, your doing the right thing by keeping it on the low side as a beginning bowhunter. Once your dialed in, all you want to do is shoot shoot and shoot. There are lots of broadhead/ arrow options out there that make a 60# bow just as lethal as a 70# bow.

[Maxhunter]

If you're shooting accurately you don't need to shoot 70lbs. Most new bows are very efficient and will get the job down with no problems.

There is no need to shoot a 70lb DW with the bows today. I shoot at 61lb and it will kill anything a 70lb bow will. Shoot what is most comfortable for you. If it's a 90lb bow great, if it's a 50lb bow great.

Shoot what is comfortable in a variety of situations, sitting, kneeling, standing on an incline etc..... As this will be hunting situations.
