Draw weight
 

What is the lowest draw weight you would shoot at a whitetail deer. I'm currently shooting 50 lbs and I'm not sure if that will kill a deer.

50 lbs is plenty to put a deer down with, I know of several wemon hunters that pull 50lbs and get clean passthru's om deer every year...

your just fine..

50lbs is enough to kill a whitetail and get pass throughs.Watch your range, I would keep my shots to 30yds and under at 50lbs.

Don't worry about it. Fifty pounds will do the job.

Your good to go. Anything under 35-40 pounds wont do it, correct me if Im wrong.

RE: Draw weight
 

50# is plenty to take a deer. Here in PA our laws require a minimum of 35#.

Same in Jersey 35lb min.

50 lbs is plenty as said above, however Kinetic energy should be observed as well....

Just make sure you use a cut-on-contact head, like a Magnus Stinger or Slick Tricks. I shoot 54 pounds at 26 inch draw, Im more than confident out to 25 yards.
