[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2997579, member: 97050"] I promise, I'm not saying this in a smart as* way. I shoot 80 cause I can. Like I curl 70 lbs as a work out and bench over 300. Not trying to show off, but to answer the question in context. It's not hard for me, especially these new modern ones like my bowtech…it draws suppper smooth and faster than my last Hoyt. Now as to the advantage, I've shot a 70 for many years. My issue as a western hunter who does a lot of backpack archery (otc non resident tags) is wind actually. Shots are just longer. Doesn't matter how good you are at stalking, sometimes 65y is the best you'll do when that buck is surrounded by 7 doe or it's that last day of elk and that bull is standing in the open country grassy wallows. The extra poundage allows me to shoot a heavier arrow to resist wind and wind drag at longer distances. I have a medium draw I think, 28.5, but I know guys that use higher poundage to make up for shorter draw lengths as well. The secondary benefit is the KE regarding impact and penetration at those distances. [/QUOTE]
