My Airborne 82nd at 61# isshooting 306fps &produces over 72#KE

It really wouldn't bother me to hunt with a 50# modern top of the line bow. They produce much higher KE than they did onlya few years ago.

There is the question of shootability though? I can honestly say I have shot the 82nd as good as any bow I have ever hunted with. I drew back on 4 animals this year, and I tagged everyone of them without even tracking.Is it as smooth, quiet, and vibration free as my New Captain? No! But would you really expect it to be?

I had a shoulder injury several years ago from tumbling out. The next season I was limited to shooting 40 #. I killed 2 does and one Buck that year, and they were all passthroughs. For Whitetail KE# is over rated as are many things.

Nothing beats a well placed arrow tipped with a scary sharp Broadhead
