Default RE: What are you guys pulling?

It is still unethical to go to the feild attempting to shoot a whitetail with a 30 pound bow knowing that you will not be able to make the cleanest shot possible. Have you ever tried to track a single lung hit deer? I have and they can run for miles. All the while they are suffering. Besides the perfect arrow for a 30 pound bow is very weak. With this arrow and broadhead you talk about it will not have enough Kinetic Energy to make a cleanshot.

I never said you didn't know how to read but most people speed read and skip parts. I was just bringing it to your attention. You even said yourself"minnesota lowered there draw weight limit to 30 pounds THIS year, and there are prob." Why would any self respecting ethical hunter use this draw weight when it is a fact that it could be a problem.

True you did say you should never hunt with 30 pounds, "unless thats all you can pull". So you just advised people in states that have weight restrictions to go below the legal graw weight and use 30 pounds because thats allthey can pull. If you can only pull 30 pounds then get a crossbow and wait till your older and stronger to use a compound for hunting. Im not saying that you should give up on the compound all together just weight till you can pull the legal limit.

If 30 pounds is legal in your state and you can live with wounding deer more than cleanly killing themthen go ahaed and use it if thats all you can pull. You were promoting the use of a 30 lb bow even though you claim to say "that you should never use it". You keep contradicting yourself.

Now I rest my case.
