5-Shot:

Question....You mention that at 60#'s....he was on the cusp of being able to shoot mechanicals. While I totally agree....it would seem that the speed the bow's producing would be the only way to determine if he's going to be able to push enough KE to shoot mechanicals, or not.

I ONLY mention this....because I may be in the same boat as the OP....AND...with today's technology.....more people can shoot them with 60# bows than in years past. 60#s and 300+fps isn't out of the realm of possibility, anymore.
