Default Poundage for 3D shooting

Is there a recommended pull poundage for 3D? My new bow on order is a 50 - 50 lb Nitrum with Hexx 400 arrows.

Not really a recommended draw weight. Just something you can handle for an entire day. I used to use 70lbs now I use a bow set at 62lbs.

Default Same as I hunt with...

I dont change a thing except thread out broadheads and thread in the practice tips to kill foam...

Pulling 73lbs everytime regardless of foam or the real deal.

A bow with the lowest pounds without giving up accuarcy...some cant shoot lower pound bows as accurate as higher poundage...

Most strickly 3D set-ups are in that 50-60lb range..

Hunter set-ups shooting 3D seem to range between 60-70 lb
