    I shoot 65 lbs on my one cam hunting bow and 52 on my two cam target bow. Like everyone else said shoot what's comfortable. At 60, you'll have no deer troubles. Work up slowly if you're going to go higher so you don't have to strain pulling back and make sure you can draw your bow back slowly without strain.

    I am currently on 72 lbs. It seems to do very well on whitetails. I am using a PSE. It works great. BB

    I had to crank my bolts all the way in to get my arrows to stop porpusing{60LBS}. I have a PSE Polaris Express from 1995 or 96.
