Tetro Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Re: poundage My compound is set at 55. I believe the min. is 39.7 for compound and 99.2 for crossbow. The poundage is for deer and turkey only. For bear and moose its at 48.5 and 119. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnatecsteve Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Re: poundage 60# is just fine..I shoot 67# only because my new ROSS bow is so easy to draw. When I test shot it before buying it, I thought it was set at a real low poundage since it was so easy to draw. I had the owner check the weight and it was 58#..so I cranked it up a turn and a half, now it's 67# and it is still very easy to draw. That is key, being able to draw and hold smoothly and easily on deer, even in the cold or early morning when you're not quite all of the way awake. But yes, 60# is good with a good shot and sharp broadhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WvBowhunterKE Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Re: poundage cool..I am really comfortable and think I could probably hold steady for 5 minutes... * feels stupid* I timed myself and I could hold it comfortably for only 3 minutes without moving alot...so i think I will stick with 60# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbeck Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Re: poundage 70 Lbs. Helps arrow speed and K- energy when you only have a 26" draw length. Don't know if I need that or not, but none of the bucks taken complained to the PR department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Re: poundage Im shooting two different weights. 60# and 70# (roughly, it may be off a lb either way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY_Bowhunter14 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Re: poundage i shoot about 52# and with my Reflex Excursion it penetrated through the deer at 27 yards... in NY i believe that 35# is the minimum, which i believe is WAY to low... i think 45 is a suitable poundage...

rhine16 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Re: poundage don't believe there is a minimum poundage in MS... i've seen a deer killed at 20 yards with 40 pounds so 45 is too high i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Re: poundage To tell the truth, I really don't know the poundage on my Outback. I just turn it til it's all the way down and then back it off 3 turns. Should be around 60 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWiggely Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Re: poundage I shoot 72# s here. I am going to drop it a little though. Seems on real cold days, or nights when I draw my bow at its current weight my back cramps up on me. So Im dropping it probably to 65 or 67.
