It' s ludicris that 60# is the minimum for deer. Some states set their minimum draw as low as 35#. If you can handle a 60# bow, but get a little tired from it..drop down to 55# or even 50#. You' ll still have plenty of thump and it' ll feel better than a 60# Like Don said, get a second set of limbs for it in 50# or 55# That would be cheaper than a new bow. I' m not sure, but aren' t the Martin Visions close to $400? You could buy a stock Chek-Mate cheaper than that. To me it' s foolish to mess with a 60# when all you' re doin is deer huntin; especially if you' re not shootin any farther than 25yds. Now if you have elk or moose to go after then I can see why you' d want 60#. It kind of rubs me the wrong way when compounders or whoever talk about needin 60/70 lbs and 60 ft lbs of KE or whatever they say. My old 45# Kodiak Hunter didn' t get anywhere near that, but I know it' d down a deer. I saw it thump the target hard enough. If you saw my 55# Mahaska longbow put an arrow all the way through to the fletchin on a Burly Deadstop then you wouldn' t doubt what a 55# longbow could do to a deer with a sharp broadhead. There isn' t a whole lot I know, but I sure know it don' t take 60# of bow to down a deer.
