RE: Am I Pulling Enough Weight?
While everyone makes good points and it is certainly enough to kill a deer. My take is this..If you are doing "alot" ofshooting. You are building muscles and muscle memory. Every week crank it up a little. Not enough so you really notice a difference, but over-time you will creep up to a higher weight maybe even exceed 50#.
Sure accuracy and holding steady..yada yada is still needed but your building the muscle, souse it. I shoot 70# all year, leagues, practice, hunting. Why back down..accurate is accurate, and more speed can't have a negative effect.
The .22 rifle is enough to kill deer (and has killed more than any other weapon)but you see guys in the woods with 30-06's. Smoke'em if you got'em!
