I was just wondering what draw weight you guys pull for hunting? Also, do you think at 10 to 20 yards my 35 pound longbow would kill a deer with a razor sharp Magnus?

P.S.- The minimum legal draw here in Maryland is #30
#-------> Matt

56# longbow
55# recurve

Do I think a 35# bow would kill a deer? Yes ... but, you're going to have to use a LOT of discretion (sp?) and heavy arrows.

Good points everyone, and I agree, a 35 pound draw will kill a deer, but shot placement is key. Also, make sure to use a two bladed cut on contact head, Magnus, Zwickey, Stos, Grizzly, etc.

53# recurve this year, 65# recurve last year.

My first recurve was 54 lbs. I ordered my second at 60 lbs. and my third one due next month will be 62 lbs.
