What’s you’re draw weight vs Age

[30338]

56 and pulling 60. I just treestand hunt deer or may waterhole hunt a bear this year. Also working on a long bow at 52 pounds.

If I sit in a treestand for 5 hours and its 25 degrees out, 60 is all I want lol.

I'm 30 pulling 80 as of last year but it feels similar to my 70lb rx3 turbo. Shooting a PSE omen

I guess I'm a weakling that doesn't like to pull 70.

34/65 - Hunting Bow
34/60 - 3D and backup bow

I shot 72# in my younger years and then graduated to 67# and now 65#, shooting a 3D course at north of 65# starts making me struggle a bit towards the end.

49 and 60lbs. The bow was given to me. I generally shoot 65lbs.

That’s a great point. I’d imagine pulling 70lbs in a saddle or Treestand is likely more challenging than from the ground, strictly from a strength perspective.

 

[Latebloomer]

70/70. Well, I will be 70 in a month but shoot everyday and no plans to change/ Actually my Helix measured 71 the last time on the draw board.

Dang, killing it!

Pulling in the cold, or in a crouched position, that's for the birds.

[BWSmith]

65y.o.

Hoyt Axius alpha,range mule...daily driver is 63#

PSE EVO NXT 33,3D bow is 68#.

Bear Divergent EKO hunting bow is also 68#.

New to compound,been a trad shooter for over 50 years. My newest recurve,put together a month or so ago... is 47#. Most of my trad bows stay in the 40's.

 

[5MilesBack]

57/75#

But I picked up a new bow that has 70lb limbs so it will probably be 70 or whatever the bow will max out at this year.

 

[Hill Difficulty]

When I was mid 30s I had a 86# Black Max 2 that I hunted with for 3 or so years. Shot a couple elk and a few deer with it...

Almost 20 years later my left shoulder trap is considerably larger than the right side. My bathroom mirror reminds me daily of that bow + my pretentious and prideful tendencies.

Currently at 54/70#.

 

[Elkhunter777]

60 years/ 68.lbs

 

[Fuenstock]

46/70

Shot 70# last season but I may need to drop down to 60#.
I have a previous shoulder issue that’s been giving me a lot of pain for the past few months.
I have skin graphs over my shoulder from burns I sustained in an accident so I have limited shoulder mobility and end up with bad form when trying to draw because of the non elastic skin graphs.
