Most guys I know that bow hunt can’t draw can’t shoot but still kill game and have fun. I’m not going to stop them because they have a poor bow form and terrible equipment.

Yes it matters, because when pictures hit the news of poor bambi with an arrow stuck in it’s azz, it paints all of us in a negative light. Quick clean kills matter. Educating new bowhunters matters. It’s not about making it road hockey fun. It about doing something hard and doing it well.
There is a noticeable jump from 60 to 70…you have to be very dedicated to draw and shoot 70 well. Took me 5 years to build up to it, and that was in my 20s. But I had a good understanding of the value of simulation training, and always practiced on 3D targets from field positions, and at hunting speed. So I learned real quick that I didn’t want to be overbowed. Tried 80 once…shoulder hurt for a week. 70 is enough for me.
