RE: will 35-40lb draw drop a white tail?
 

40# i believe is the limit in ohio

You bet!!! Idaho has a 40# weight minimum and people shoot bear and mules with them all the time. Just like anything in bow hunting it is all about shot placement and sharp broadheads.

Correct. 35-40 is enough But make sure it's Legal!

I hunt deer with a 48lb osage, and feel confident. I have not dropped a deer yet with it. But I am shooting a 500gr arrow at 150fps.

A modern compound at 40lb would smoke those numbers. Only thing I have over you is, I am dead quiet on the shot.

Here in IL, 40# is our minimum and it is more than capable of killing any whitetail cleanly. In fact, todays 40 lbs compounds have considerably more energy that a lot of traiditional bows that many hunters still hunt with. It's all about shot placement of a razor sharp b-head. Best of luck to your lil' youth hunter.

it should work . I would go 40 or higher and keep the shots close

EASILY

thanks a lot guys.. a girl friend of mine wanted to shoot my bow @ 55# and it's impossible for her considering she's only 5'2" @ 105lbs.. hahaha.. Small chick. She enjoys the outdoors a lot and i just wanna make sure she get some of the action too.

Up here in Maine the law is no less than35 lbs. So it wouldn't be any problem provided a razor sharp 7/8 inch or greaterbroadhead is used.. But as others have stated check your local laws first..

RE: will 35-40lb draw drop a white tail?
 

yea but you would have to check on your state regulations like here in SD you can have a min of 40 lbs. i am sure it could do the job!!
