i've been reading a little bit and i'm interested. how much weight do i need for whitetail hunting at moderate ranges? (20-35yards) what's the lowest weight you've heard used?
Seif, what I do if I have a bow that I am not sure of is to figure the kinetic energy, you need at least 25 ft. lbs.
to hunt deer here is a chart with some useful info.
Hope this helps Martin
