60# or 70#
Now that I have this situation resolved {cross my fingers} I draw my Golden Eagle at max 62# with no problem but I have been considering going to 70# espeacially for moose With the new BT dually do you think I should go for it
I draw my friend's 70# Mathew's Legacy o.k. but I definetly notice the difference but I'm sure I could get used to it . Any suggestion's
I could back it off or use my Splitfire in the cold need be but I'm not sure I'll be able to put the BT down.

nubo,
I would go with a 60#. The draw on the Pat DC's is a little rough, which is why the thing IBO's at 334 f.p.s. I have drew the Pat DC back at 70# and there is no way that I would be able to do it when I am sitting out in the cold temps!
The Pat DC with 60# limbs maxed out will be more efficent than the 70# backed down! Also, if you shoot a pretty heavy arrow with a good fixed blade broadhead, the 60# should be good enough for moose as long as you have a longer draw length!

Nudo.
The power the Patriot Dually puts out @60# will be enough.
I blasted through the gristle plate and both shoulder bones of a boar at 32 yards with mine.
These things hit like a Mack truck.

Everyone here is giving good advise. If you're used to shooting 62#, I'd opt for the 60# Dually. Especially in cold weather, with heavy clothes on. This may give you an idea of how hard the Pat Duallys hit. I shot mine for 3D at the end of last summer (getting ready for fall). You never heard so much complaining about pulling arrows, and I have mine set at 57#. These things hit like a truck. IMO, 70# would be overkill, and not necessary.

You didn't mention your draw length, which of course affects K.E. That being said, the others' comments are right on: Being able to draw smoothly from a hunting position is the most important thing.

Same here and I am a bit larger in size than BM... A 60 lb Pat DC should be putting out plenty of KE with most setups. Now, if you were talking about a Freedom Cam Bowtech then I would probably recommend the heavier weight since the draw cycle overall is much smoother.
