No, I have not shot a mature whiteteail with a 30 pound bow, but that is becuase I respect the animal enough not to attempt it. You said I have no prove well where is your prove, you said you saw a 35 not 30 pound bow penetrate. In all of my statementsI HAVE proof to come back with, in yours I see no proof. You make these on what you think, not what you know. Well look you have yourbeliefs, I have mine. It looks like were not going to sway each other to the opposite opinion so, lets leave it at that. But, heres my last statement,young bowhunters,research and make your own descision before you attemp to hunt whitetails with a 30 pound bow. But if you wound an animal you have to live with the guilt and make every attempt to find the wounded animal and finish it's suffering.
