So, if i understand this correctly, having your bow set at high poundage means you're bullheaded??? Hmmmm...... guess I should turn mine down from 75# even though I can sit in a chair, with feet off the ground and talk to you for almost a full minute or so while holding it back.
I know what you're saying, I get your point....... bows are efficient enough today that it doesn't take 80 lb. to get blistering speeds and high levels of KE, however I will continue to pull high poundage until the good lord says it is time for me to back it down. Not for speed, but just for the added insurance that when I hit a shoulder I know my 430 grain Slick Trick tipped arrow moving @ 300 fps with 86 lb. of Ke is cruising right on through.
Like you said, I don't walk around pumping my chest and bragging that I can shoot 75#, but truth be told, I can draw a lot more COMFORTABLY if I wanted to, so much in fact that I still might buy a Mathews Safari just for kicks and giggles.

i like to practice sitting on a chair, kneeling all different ways you never know what might happen in the woods and you shoul try to be ready for just about any shooting situation that might present itself.

I shoot 71 lbs and probably 74% of the deer I shoot while sitting down.

everybody should practice in different positions because you never know what will happen. just trying to get people to THINK about their shooting. any experienced archery hunter knows that the less movement the better.

I agree.That's why 3-d shoots are so good.
