Comparing guns and archery , does not work , they kill in diferant ways . Guns , by hydralic shock , and archery by cutting and bleeding out . The most important thing is accuracy , as most bows today create enough energy to passthru , or penitrate our north american game , with a deadly sharp broadhead . If you are not afraid of the sharpness of your broadheads , they are not sharp enough . Now I would not go after moose with a 50 lb bow , but I bet there as some who would , and if they know their equipment and limitations , probably have sucess at it .
