My daughter will find out how a 30# Martin Tiger will do on deer with a 24" draw length.



I have this bow tuned to perfection and at that weight and draw tune is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than with a full grown rig.We have it shooting Bullet holes @ bow as well as 3 ft,6ft,and 20 ft.This is also with centershot set perfect and rest heigth is perfectly square.



She will be shooting 1716's with 100 grain Stinger 2 blades with 4" feather(feathers will help penetration)and cresting wraps.She has 12% focand a total weight of 362 grains.


That puts the weight ratio at 12 grains per pound and get 150 fps with 18 ft/lb's of ke.Of course,ke will do very little from this type of setup,you need as much momentum as humanly possible.This setup will drop 2.5" peryard@15 yards and 3.3" per yard at 20 yards,so going much heavier will make it very hard to hit where you want from 15-20 unless they are holding the pin EXACTLY in the right spot.



The key for you will be tune as well for my daughter.Also the shot selection and distance.Nothing over 20 yards,preferably,15 yards.And make sure the bow is as quiet as possible,at that distance,deer will bolt on ANY noise.

I actually made my daghter quit using my Carter because it clicks when shot and I wasafraid that it was too muchnoise for her situation.



Obviuosly I believe it can be done so I say go for it but be mindfull of EVERYTHING.The important thing is staying involved with your children and their interest.
