RE: mathews ovation
yes you can hunt with it.If you look at axile to axile it is longer than most hunting bows and a little slower.My swtchback is 33 and shoots 315 fps.Yours is 40 and about 300fps.still kill deer or hogs.400 isnt bad but remember your not getting a warranty with the bow and it is used.If loadedready to shoot I would say go for it.
