In my opinion you owe it to the critter your hunting to use the draw weight that insures a clean kill at whatever distance and circumstance you shoot. Using a lighter draw weightwould mean you have to limit yourself to shorter distances.Hunting with a Horizontal bow or a vertical bow requires common sense, confidence in your equipment , knowing your limitations, knowing when NOT to shootplus a lot of patience!
It is really not the kill that makes the hunt. That's the anti climatic end to a good hunt!
