FWIW, I intend to hunt with the bows I have now (all but one is 60# or more at my draw length), but if the time comes that I have to drop down in weight I know it will do the job as long as I do my part. I've told the story before about my best friend's daughter--we finally measured her draw length and weighed out the bow, and if she came to full draw she was pulling a massive 28# and killed her deer at 26 paces. Would I recommend trying this? Heck no! But I know it can be done--good arrow flight and putting it in the right spot did the job.
