I’ve had bicep surgery as well as neck fusion in the last year. Currently shooting a Hoyt Defiant carbon turbo. It’s very tough for me to draw. I’m looking a easy smooth drawing 60 pound draw bow. Any recommendations

Revolt X on comfort and the PSE evolve cams. Old man muscle and joints or physical problems helps you decide the subtle nuances of draw cycles. When I was younger and stronger pffft..It would be harder so many are good now. If I liked a particular bow for other reasons my mind would override anything else I felt. I would not buy a bow anymore I could not shoot for a good while in testing it. Or knew beforehand what I could expect. A lot of these bows do have a different feel based on draw length and poundage though based on what people tell me. I shoot 50# to 60# and 29". Might be different for shorter draw and different poundage. Of course I have not shot em all but quite a few. A willing shop that will let you spend some time and set you up on multiple bows and be patient with you is your best friend.

PSE with evolve cam or the Elite Remedy. Stay away from Matthews they draw smooth but are very stiff and jumpy. The only bow I have that I draw with 70# is my Remedy but the EVO NXT's draw easier then my Remedy at 70#. I have a partially torn rotator cuff thanks to the VXR I had.

Kind of wondering here. I had the right bicep detached in a wreck long rotor cuff tore to pieces and then a full rupture of the left bicep and partial rupture of the right bicep. I was shooting 16 weeks after surgery....They don't repair ruptures biceps.

Okay, you don't arm strength (biceps) to draw a bow. So wonder if the neck fusion is you main problem...
How long since the surgery? Did you take Therapy?

The Xpedition Xception is the one bow I wish they would bring back.....a 328 FPS solo cam that could actually hit IBO
