What Do You Think Your Effective Range Is?

Mathews Safari bow has a peak weight of 85lbs and weighs itself just under 5 lbs.  Got to be built like a brick sh** house to hunt with that thing regularly.

I would love to get 80lb+ limbs on my elite hunter. Then again I am 26 and the 70lbs is pretty easy, would love to get a heavier bow for no other reason than I can handle it

70 is fine but I don't think I could point a bow from a treestand and draw straight back on a buck.  depending on the draw of the cams 80 could be rough.  even if you can draw it does mean you're conditioned to.  shoulders would be shot after a year if you weren't.  70lbs, heavy arrow, and the right head will get you penetration pretty far out there.

I'm not really sure the point given what most of us are hunting here. I'm strong enough to do 8-9 (more when I wasn't fatter, ugh) very good form pull ups but I'm still drawing only 52 just because why put my body through stress it doesn't need. Already have a permanent joint injury from another hobby and excited not to repeat my foibles
