In my opinion its up to what your body dynamics are . Right now i shoot a 73lb draw weight and am quite comfy to draw this all day long . i shot a 900 round and scored 828 with it. but most of my friends shoot 54lbs and do great with that so comfortablity is key . Many different setups can get you a speed and and accuracy with a lower draw weight . when i get older and more worn down i guarantee ill shoot lower poundages of draw. To start its way easier to perfect your form which is the most important key with a lower draw weight . I have grown into my draw weight and got comfortable with it.
