I own a 2003 patriot single cam set at 65 pounds. I'm shooting a 370 grain arrow at around 270fps.
unfortunetly i'm a shorty! only got a 27 inch draw length. My first question is , If I maxed my bow out, I would probably get around 280fps( 65-66 KE)
is this bow fit to take on large game?? such as elk and moose??
Secondly If it isn't fit for such large game , I need a bow that will persue large game such as moose and elk for next season. Can I build my bow somehow to beable to take larger game , If not I want to stay with the Bowtech line , so what bow could I build to get my expectations of high Ke and good speed with a small draw length of 27 inches.
Your bow is just fine for any big game in No. America. Your current setup gives you 60 ft-lbs of Energy & that is just fine. The only thing I would say is to watch broadhead design & go for something that isn't mechanical on anything bigger than deer.
Your bow is a Whitetail killing machine! Way more than enough! For big game like Elk or Moose, its just fine, just as the previous post says......don't use mechanicals (except for maybe a Rocky Mountain Snyper).
Go with a heavier arrow, maybe try the new Axis shaft from Easton which is a small diameter shaft with good weight. Also maybe a new skinning knife and make some more friends that are in good condition for packing out heavy hind quarters
