Anyone i know who shoots over 65 lbs has blown their shoulder out at some point. uncle, cousin, friends with todays bows and proper shot placement 50 lbs does the trick everytime. My neighbor blew his shoulder out last year and had surgery and is seriously hoping he can draw back 50 lbs by the time season comes... I guess its a macho thing "more power", I've even taken an elk with my bow at 52 lbs... I'll keep mine low and be enjoying it my whole life with out the shoulder pain my friends and family are dealing with..
