As with most everything else in life you should do what YOU think is best for you, NOT what some guy with a made up name on the internet thinks is what is best for you

Man all this thread has done is made me confused on what limbs i should get on my new bow. I don't know what to do now.

Don...Cmon...
You've haven't hunted in NM (Didn't even know you were moving there when you got it) and you don't live in Iowa anymore.
What's your experience with them Alaskan Brown Bears? I didn't now you revolved your setups around such.
Again....This ain't about me.....or NC's deer.....though you didn't miss a good opportunity to put something else down.
Don ......"Iowa" and "Our deer" don't go together anymore.
So......if 40#'s will get it done....and it's legal.....why the overkill with 60?

RE: Running your Corvette in O/D
Possibly because alot of todays bows with draw lengths suitable for archers with longer draw weights don't come with 40# limbs. Granted, one should shoot whatever they are comfortable with, but to try and portray that their is a major downside to either is stretching it. There are pro's and con's for both.

RE: Running your Corvette in O/D
wow, who'd've thought all this could come out of a single suggestion huh?
Glad I don't have a harsh draw cycle problem with my silky smooth.
btw- if your Vette has an "OD" button, it's no longer a sports car.

RE: Running your Corvette in O/D
Jeff, You have hunted two years with a bow now and you are going to educate me on what I need for poundage in a bow?? I have shot 70# bows for 20 more years than you have bowhunted and I have bowhunted for 30 years. These forums have taught me about the needed kinetic energy for killing animals and watching myself as a kid and my own kid and wife kill deer and bears withlight poundage setups, leads me tobelieve that I know what I am talking about.While you were at homewatching Vanna on Wheel of Fortune and wanting to buy a vowel, I was out doingit. Remember Jeff, two years as a bowhunter doesn't make you the guru on what poundage I need.

Hey Don.....whoa, man...I'm not telling you anything. I'm asking you some questions.
You don't have to answer, though
But....true to form....you've managed to denegrate someone else in record time.
Heeeeeeeee's Back!
Let me ask you though, Don.....My 60# bow will absolutely smoke yours. Should I shoot mine at 50#'s......just because it's "overkill"? Teach me.

RE: Running your Corvette in O/D
If I can get the same KE at 60 that I'm getting at 72, I'd shoot 60.
I'm shooting an older bow and won't reduce my draw weight unless my back surgery makes me reduce my weight or I can find a new one that produces the KE I want at alower poundage.
