RE: 55# Takes Yukon Moose!!!
I want all the oomph I can get, at that point.
and shoot accuratly.My ROSS is set at 75lbs
My arrow weight was close to 500 grains. I was shooting 72 ft lb. My next bow will max out at 60 pounds. With how sharp broadheads are it really has changed Quick. I use Montecs and they were not as sharp as other brands. Why I shot what I did. I have switch to strikers and they are scary sharp. I would have no issues shooting a deer with a 50# recurve with a 600 grain arrow and a striker on it.Ted Nugent is right on when he says shoot the weight you can and get a sharp broadhead

I agree with part of what Fran is saying .... if you can comfortably shoot 70# or more ..... why not? Will it hurt? No Can it possibly help in some instances? Yes. That's enough for me ... I have been shooting 70+ all my life .... my muscles are used to it ... I can sit, pull back, and let down over and over with barelya twitch. Should I switch to 60#? Some of the posts on here say I should ..... to each his own ....
Oh yeah, will 55# kill a moose ...you bet ... if things go perfect ... will a .22 cal kill a moose ... you bet ... if things go perfect ...

This thread is about as ridiculious as the mine is bigger than yours argument. Big deer have nothing to do with strength as can be seen by Quick's man cannons, and has more to do with skill and patience. We all know lower poundage bows kill deer.
If you shoot a heavy bow take heed of the warnings of the older folks on the board who are complaining about injuries. I hear the argument about working out and what not but most people don't. Life is stessful and time consuming.
What aggrevates me about the man bow concept is, I've got a buddy that is about 5'4" mayb 140lb wet and all he wants is a 70lb bow. Why? Because he wants a man bow. Just plain dumb.

RE: 55# Takes Yukon Moose!!!
Me and Tony agree on something. Somebody take our picture. Seriously.
Drawing a heavy bow isn't about brute strength, it's about muscle memory/training. I could probably draw a 100# bow if you had one - and I'm a runt.
Tony and I....... I was hoping nobody noticed that. My grammar keeps getting worser and worser.

Ted's a total pansy. If he wasn't a multi-millionaire, he'd never kill a blessed thing. I personally know a guy who guided him on a whitetail hunt, and let's just say if the playing field was leveled, Ted would be eating a lot of tags.

Wow..teds a total pansy huh? You have no idea what your talking about...and dont argue with me when it comes to somethin about Ted Nugent. Trust me. Ted is one of the most knowledgeable and respected hunters in America.
By the way, you keep criticizing anyone and everyone who doesnt shoot as much weight as you. Some of our bows including mine will not go to 70#....i cant even get mine to 60# because of my draw length. Should i save my money to buy a bigger bow that way i can become a TRUE hunter like yourself??? The amount of pics you posted means absolutely nothing in this issue. NOTHING. Give it up man. Let us hunt with what we want and how we want.

After reading this for a couple of days I do find it comforting to see thatI am not the only onecapable of pissin in Frannie's Corn Flakes.
But really take Ted out of the pens and see how good he is......... And for a little extra credit try using "Ted" and "fair chase" in the same sentence.
As an example you could say, Ted choses to kill animals in a more fair chase setting than Troy Gentry............that was fun wasn't it?

RE: 55# Takes Yukon Moose!!!
I think that was the one that I drew before. They used to keep one at the local bow shop just for novelty, and I keep wanting to say that it wasaround 100#. I remember it weighed a ton - giant aluminum riser, heavy limbs, etc.. I think they had 2317 arrows for it. Lincoln Logs.
Most of the guys who shot a lot could get it right back. Funny, b/c there would be smallish guys who could draw it back, and their ginormous buddies would watch and get that "if he can do it, I KNOW I can do it" muchismo thing going. They would be throwing their backs out to draw the blasted thing. LOL I'm sure you've seen the same events unfold.
kdsberman - I didn't stutter a bit. I think Ted's a pansy who couldn't hunt his way out of a wet paper bag. If he didn't pay people to put animals in front of him, he'd have given up hunting a long time ago.
