On second thought, disregard my previous post. Thinking about how much fun can be had with all calibers of firearms, there's no reason to shoot 30.06 all the time, every time you shoot. It looks like fun. It's been too long since I've launched an arrow.

An archer only needs monster power when driving an arrow through a saber toothed wildebeest. For normal target stuff, somewhere between 40 and 55 is good, I've read. My recurve is 48 and my compound is 54. No reason to punish one's body. Real life does that in spades.

If your bag is closer than 30 yards, then you can shoot an even lighter bow, or if you're a very small person or a woman with under developed muscles. I think archers of either gender who shoot frequently have a 28 pounder up in the rafters somewhere that they graduated out of.
