min draw weight for deer?
My wife wants to get into archery as I get back into it. She's never shot bows much. She's been to the range with me a time or two and shot bows with draw weights under 30#
I Know she wants to stay around 35# but I personally wouldn't be comfortable under 45#. I'm not sure how well a 35# bow will penetrate.
Can anyone suggest a old/cheap bow model that is adjustable from like 30#-50# ~27" DL?
Thanks in advance for your help

I shoot selfbows and longbows. I can guarantee you 40lbs compounds will easily do the job. I just got a passthru on a doe with a 50lb compund shooting 170fps with a 550gr arrow. I do not feel underbowed at all.
Here's the important part. Shoot a cut on contact BH. Preferabely 2 bladed.
