In South Africa, the regulations call for a minimum 80 ft lbs of KE and 700 grain arrows for Cape Buffalo, and 105 ft lbs of KE and 850 grain arrows for hippo, rhino and elephant.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>

Dang! I'm going to have to start working out if I ever want to shoot an elephant. How much draw weight am I going to have to pull (on average) to get an 850 grain arrow to produce a KE of 105?
