Hunting bow question

It’s funny sure seems like 70lb bows sale a lot faster then the 50 to 60 lb bows .

I was a serious bow hunter 20 plus years ago. Had a Hoyt with 70-80 lbs. NO LET OFF. So you could hold it for maybe 15 seconds and then you had to let it down. On top of that the broadheads were huge and the arrows were also very long, heavy, and long.

Going for elk in September in Montana so I went and bought a new bow and started the process all over. I used a finger pad back in the day so the biggest adjustment so far is learning how to use a release. Anyway the bow shop pros told me that 50 lbs is plenty for an elk. So I am now in process of relearning how to shoot - but let me tell you this - let off is a blessing! So much easier than in the old days
