Default compound

I doubt that it is 80 lbs. just by the fact that they don't sell many in that poundage. Most are in the range of 50-60 or 60-70 lbs, some have a 15 lb. range. A 70 lb. bow takes a bit of strength to pull, I see a lot of 70 lb. bows at our club with the limb bolts backed out quite a ways. Some people are just to proud to buy a wimpy 50-60 lb. bow.
I have 2 Hoyt Spyder 34's 50-60 and shoot them maxed out which is actually at 62 lbs. They are plenty fast and would shoot through most game animals.
You should be able to turn down the bow weight 10-15 pounds and your back muscles will get used to drawing the bow after a while. Good luck, Roscoe
