RE: 80# bows and up?
Thanks for the information guys. Hey elkcrazy8 dreaming of next year already huh?
Paul I agree 100% with what you said. I do shoot better with lighter draw weight.
But I like kinetic energy that the aluminums produce and I like speed so I have the dilemia of wanting a heavier bow. I had a Clearwater Archery bow that was a 70-90 but the draw was too long and no more adjustment.So Iadjusted myself to shoot the bow. It would fly a 30" xx78 2317 at 290 fps and I couldn't get my sight pins close enough to have 20 30 40 50 60 yd pins. My First pin started at 20 and the last of five ended at 66yds. My 40 yd groups were inside 3" circle, not competition class but huntable with the heavy bow. Only draw back I ran into using the heavy bow is trying to draw in a very ackward position or hold for more than 30seconds if the animal stopped. But that bow only had 55% let off. So I'm thinking todays bows are alot more in tune to being able to hold for awhile. I'm here to learn I'm no bow expert so my mind is open for suggestions.
We don't have a decent archery shop within driving distance to go and try out new bows. It's pick one and pay for the education.
