If he can ever pass the bar exam[8D]I just had to get that one in there oh Mr." I wish that guns were outlawed soI could have the woods all to myselfLike Germ said, not worth the .02 of your opinion. Quicksilver,learn about Kinetic energy, the recommended ft lbs of energy needed for different game, and you will be more knowledgeable with your comments and not look so foolish. The native Americans would have starved if they listened to your nonsence.

ouch. true though

Well, since speed will vary with draw length, brace height, arrow weight, how much junk is on the bow, how the strings are rigged - and pair that with the fact that most people have no idea what their draw length is (they confuse it with arrow length), have no idea how heavy their arrow is (can't weigh it on a bathroom scale), and probably have no idea what their speed is(they all think it's 300)- Kinetic Energy is Spanish to a layperson. We might as well be talking about the Tooth Fairyor Leprechauns.

Most people, however, are smart enough to know what their draw weight is. On average, a 55# bow will push out 55# of KE - ballpark. On average, a 40# bow will push 40# of KE. Since you guys know so much, I'm sure you figured that out by now.

If you're equally perceptive, you might have noticed that you don't see many deer checked in for the annual HNI buck contest that were killed with 40# pea shooters. Same reason you don't see so many deer shot with .22 Hornets or Slingshots.

I'd really like to see y'all put your money where your mouths are, and order a 40 pounder for this fall. Maybe you could do a little "Get in Shape Girl" warm-up, drive to your hunting spot in your Barbie Jeep, hop out with your 35# deer slayer, and go at it. I figure if you get one early, maybe in September - before it gets its winter coat or grows to full size, you might be able to shoot a fawn right off the tit, and the heavy winter furwon't cause your arrow to bounce off.

quik do much surfing in pittsburgh

Actually, I thinkthe native americans would have been just fine. We wouldn't even have the bow at all if they stuck to staying with what worked. They developed better weapons as they learned.

The american indian developed better bows and when the whiteman came along and started shooting them with guns they soon realized that the gun was a better weapon. So, they started using guns when they had access.

I'm pretty sure theymade the highest draw weight bows they could make in order to bring the game down as quick as possible and would wounder why you would use somethinh lighter. If they had 70#+ compounds they would have been ecstatic.

Quiksilver

I hunt with a 58# bow and would not be afraid to enter the woods with a 40# or 50# bow.I can comfortably pull 65# and be very accurate with it.If that is what I had to do,I would.


My bow is set at 28 1/4" draw at the moment and my actuall draw on most bows is 28 1/2" so I use a longer loop to make up the difference.My ke is only 51 1/2 ft lb's.


My arrow weighs a whopping 360 grains AND I use a mechanical head and I will bet you I get as many passthroughs as you do with your "man" bow.



I was using a 28 3/4" draw with a short loopand my arrow weighed in at 380 grains and had no problems penetrating the ground after complete passthroughs.[]Even on extreme angles.


But hey,I am not smart enough to know what is needed to take game effectively.

Hey Germ,make sure you bring your Ken doll when you come down in September to hunt H&H. I'll make sure I bring Barbie along.

I am 1000% with you. I also shoot 58# but have a slightly shorter draw length and would NOT be afraid to enter the woods with a smaller bow. My first deer was shot with 42# and round wheels...no fancy cams on it. That arrow went straight through 2 ribs and a lung and right out the other side. That deer ran 35 yards and died. 42#. Quiksilver...if you are willing to give me the money to buy a smaller weight bow and hunt with it, i will definetly do it. Then ill learn how to post pics on here because ill have them come fall...the same deer i would shoot with my current bow i would get with that small bow.

By the way...Ted Nugent hunts with 53#. Look at all the animals he shoots. Are you gonna tell Ted Nugent he should play with barbies and learn to be a man and hunt with heavy weight bows??

Barbie[:'(]
