I set my bow up for killing whitetails. Anything else I hunt will die with that same setting, whether it be chipmunk, moose or foam. I'm a deer hunter.... everything else is practice. Some people turn them down to hunt turkeys so they can hold longer and all that. The problem with that is you've set it up and when you turn it down you change arrow spine, impact point etc. You should beable to draw smoothly with your bow held out in front of you without going through all kinds of gyrations. I say to be sure you can draw it under extremely cold conditions you should beable to sit on the floor with you feet straight out, raise you bow tp shoulder height and draw in one smooth fluid motion without busting a gut.
