The older I get the less I enjoy pulling 70lbs although still plenty manageable even when sitting on stand for 12 hours while fully clothed (except shoes ) at zero degrees and a 30mph wind, I think I want something lighter this go around.
So my situation and question is this...
I've shot 1 pin for almost 30 years and currently my longest comfy shot is 35 yards. My current pin is set at around 25 yards and I hold on spot from very close out to 35. I am couple inches high at very close and maybe an inch or 2 low at 35. My arrows are about 375-400 grains. and I draw at 28.5" at 70lbs.
If I drop to 50 or 55lbs or maybe 60 on the new bow, how bad do you think this is gonna screw up my one pin shooting scenario????
How many of you have actually made this kinda change in draw weight? I know the weight will kill deer just fine, but I sure love the fact that I've only had 2 non passes (that I remember) in about 10 years of shooting these giants up here.
