[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1103312, member: 54383"] I'm not as big a bow hunter as I am rifle, but I do lots of bow hunting. This always comes up as a topic. I shoot 68# I am able to shoot much heavier. The reason I dont is because my father is a bow hunting machine. He has killed everything north America has to offer with a bow with no issues. He pulls 52# on a Mathews he is currently working through all the animals in Africa also and has had no issues. He always told me to pull only what I could stop mid draw and still finish. Never understood till two season ago. I had the largest buck I had seen with a bow in my sights as I was drawing back he looked right toward me I stopped mid pull and was able to hang on till he dropped his head. I was very tired but still managed to get my buck. Funny part was I was just about to raise the draw weight as I felt like I was giving up something. But if 52# Mathews can take a elephant it will take anything else you need. Shot placement is so much more important than draw weight, and the easier it pulls the better you should shoot. [/QUOTE]
