What poundage do you hunt with?

Curious to see what poundage most hunt North American game with.

 

[Slim Jim]

I use 62# on my Bowtech Insanity

 

[Hardstalk]

72.5 here.

 

[Lawnboi]

70lbs on the nose. I also own a 60lb bow that I wish was a 70. I still don't know which one will go into the woods with me this year.

I have short arms though... 26.5" dl. So I need all the power I can get. If I had a 30in dl, id likely shoot a little lighter weight.

 

[Craig Van Arsdale]

73lbs

 

[Aron Snyder]

80-85

 

[shaun]

I believe I was at 83 with the bowtech should be getting spyder turbo around there also when it gets here

 

[Ross]

67.........here, these old shoulders would collapse with anything more! Too many old injuries and like to be able to hold for an extended period of time and draw and let down real slow when those bulls lock up in close.

 

[sk1]

74lbs, i could do more but that would require a different bow i am assuming 80lb bows are special order? but 80 lbs would be an awful lot after sitting in a treestand in cold weather all day.....i dont do it often anymore, but on occasion still!

I shoot a 60-70 lb bow but I shoot it maxed at 72lbs so I voted 70-80. I'm may try a 70-80lb bow for my next one, not that I feel it's needed but just give it a go and up my arrow weight and still keep the speed I have now.

 

[Maxhunter]

65lbs. Always order my Hoyt's 55-65lb. Get plenty of penetration with that poundage.

 

[Scottiem]

80-82#

 

[Backpack Hunter]

60lbs for me.

 

[Evan Williams]

The last 4 years between 67-72 myself depending on tune.

 

[mtbshark]

50-60lb Invasion here set to 62. sometimes i wish i could get to 65 but body is pretty beat up so i am fine with 62 max.

 

[ORbowhunter869]

71 lbs. on Maxxis 35

 

[Juan_ID]

I have been shooting 65 lbs the last couple years. I might be getting a crx and if I do I'll bump the poundage up a little to about 72 lbs...

 

[Shot]

60# recurve

 

[justin davis]

I have a vector turbo that is 80 pound and a carbon matrix that is 70 lb. this year I might hunt a little with bow. But prob mostly the matrix.

 

[Stillhunter]

72lbs. for elk, 68lbs. for late deer. BT Insanity.
