hey guys im looking to only hunt hog and javelina possibly deer and well i struggle with 40 pound wondering if 30 or 35 pound can take down a hog or deer?? i would love to hear yalls opinions..thanks please reply fast if possible theres a really good deal for a bow and dont wanna pass it up

yes i know sounds a lil funyn but im not an adult yet i just turned 17...had a fred bear brave for the longest time looking to pick up a serious bow and go hunting

if your 17, that seems like WAY too light of a bow. im 15 and pulling 60# with NO problem whatsoever

i fee
l you but im 17 and a motorcycle rider and went down and damaged shoulder nerves..so i figure just lift and push it to a 50...

Never hunted hog or javelina, but I have hunted deer for years. When I was growin up I had a pse set at 50lbs and it did fine. I dont really know that I would go much less than 50 tho. I would seriously suggest doin some excercises specifically to increase your draw weight ability. They even make an excercise tool just for that. It used tobe soldin Cabella's.
Then again, this is strictly just my honest opinion. I dont keep up a great deal with the most modern bow abilitiesas far as speed and kinetic energy.
You do wanna be sure you know what what you r doin tho, because if not you will go out there just wounding animals and causing them to suffer.

yes that is true i figure just work it out and push it up to a 50..im familiar with shot placement on hogs

whats a good bow to start with this guy is giving me a good deal on a 06 parker hunter mag...just needs new arrow rest
