[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2328787, member: 63925"] LOL, another graveyard thread resuscitated back to life! But why not?! I use to shoot 74 before 3 shoulder surgeries that had nothing to do with bow poundage. I damaged it many years ago messing with horses. Rt shoulder done again April 1st and had to replace limbs from 70-80 down to 50-60. So shot buck at 30 yards couple days ago at 54 lbs 31.5" Black Eagle Rampage 300 (.001) with 100 gr Thunderhead. Still at 275 fps with Hoyt DoubleXL . Blew thru like paper and slammed into tree. Fixed blades will help as we know. I wish I could still shoot heavier just to provide better range forgiveness on yardage estimates. You can't always range before you shoot, faster bows help. My son shoots 82 lbs Hoyt with 500 gr 4MM FMJ at 300 fps. He does it easily and gets great performance out of it. If you can draw heavier weight PROPERLY using correct technique to transfer as much load to back deltoids will reduce risk of injury. I am still surprised to see crummy improper draw technique with all the instruction vids that are out there. Bottom line, if you cannot draw bow while maintaining horizontal plane with bow, you are over poundage. Plus moonshot draws will get you tossed off ranges if they are run right. [/QUOTE]
