I'm thinking about dropping the poundage on my Parker in anticipation of thicker clothes and cold joints and muscles in the next couple of months. I'm pulling 67 lbs. What would be a good weight to drop down to? I was thinking about 62 lbs.
 
I wouldn't worry about it...Unless your having a hard time drawing it back now..I draw 70lbs year round,but im a big boy...LOL Im not saying your a little boy,im just saying that im bigger than most..LOL
 
go with what you got. just man up when ol boy steps out. you been practicin with this set up im assuming. no need to change it mid stride. youll be fine.
 
if u wanted to drop it, u can. i want have any problems killing deer at that poundage. its whatever is comfortable to u! i can pull 70 pounds back easily, but i hunt with 62 year round!
 
It definatley might take a toll on you??

I shot that last doe in 45 degree temps(was the 1st cold day of the year)and I didnt have problems but I could have??
 
Try drawing straight back without sky drawing while you are cold in the stand . if you can't do it , you are over drawed .
 
Back home the guys I Hunt and shoot with practice short draw, if i can't short draw consistantly, I need to drop the poundage but adjusting pundage should be done before the season starts, or you got enough time to adjust to get yourself spot on before you get back out

Not sure exactly what you mean by short draw, but my hunting bow DL is 5/8" less than my target setups. It really helps when I'm bundled up ;)
