Default RE: Bow poundage question - 70 vs 80

I do not think most people know what a heavy bow will do. I shoot a mathews safari set at 94# shoot s 680 gr arrow.I goup way better at 100 yards than any I soot with.If you gett any wind at all my arrow never dose any crap in flight.I can tell you pound a 680 gr arrow over 300 fps and see what comes out it.

Now do I think you need to shoot 100# . NO Do I think I benifit from it heck yes.I have shoot many many elk with my bow EVERY one of them has died in less than 100 yards. Now here for the shocker. I have never gotten a pass though. My wife has allso killed elk. She shoots little under 60#.

I will not see a reason for me to drop to a lighter bow. If I had to shoot 200 times a day I would go to a light bow. I do not have to do this and can see no reason a hunter needs to.I can stop in mid draw. I can allso draw so slow most white tails dont even see me move.

I say if you can draw the puondage slowwlllyy and hold the bow for over 3 mins. Shoot the top you can.
