RE: is 100# enough?
ORIGINAL: DaGriz In my opinion you owe it to the critter your hunting to use the draw weight that insures a clean kill at whatever distance and circumstance you shoot. Using a lighter draw weightwould mean you have to limit yourself to shorter distances.Hunting with a Horizontal bow or a vertical bow requires common sense, confidence in your equipment , knowing your limitations, knowing when NOT to shootplus a lot of patience! It is really not the kill that makes the hunt. That's the anti climatic end to a good hunt! |

30# recurve will take whitetail buck out to 20yds maxand is very deadly as you can hold it like a compound with your fingers.
secret is you have to have a good heavy arrow for energy and sharp point. as long as your shots are close,20 yds . many, manyof kids i grew up with used a 30 # bow. i dont know what the law is now on that, i think its still 30# is minimum you can use. as for crossbow, i am not able to help but if i was using light pdbow, i would use heavy arrow and shoot close,like 20 yds. |
RE: is 100# enough?
150# for XBow minimum, probably minimum 50# for verticle bow. California has a minimum of 40# on verticle bows for the taking of big game. In our regs they additionaly state that XBow and verticle bow have to launch arrow or bolt 130yds. minimum.
