[QUOTE="jensenj71, post: 3070376, member: 96797"] I am happy just getting 3x10 reps at my body weight of 240lbs! No danger I am going to 1X rep 480! A lot of it seems to be conditioning with the bow. If I haven't shot much through the winter drawing 80lb is an effort. I might start with 12-18 arrows per session and work my way back up to 3 dozen arrows per session over the course of 6 weeks. I bought my FX6 at 80lb just to see if I could do it before old age kicked in. Figured I would hunt with my 70lb bow, but just couldn't put the FX6 down. Really never shot the 70lb bow again. Just kept it as my backup bow. My 70lb bow feels like a 300WM. My 80lb bow feels like a 300NMI. Is it too much? Almost certainly! Very rarely do I actually need the additional performance, but I just feel better knowing it is there if I need it. In the end, shot placement is the critical factor....rifle or bow. An 80lb bow doesn't make a terrible shot good. [/QUOTE]
