"Also, obsidian is MUCH sharper than steel will ever be."

I see, but i was only going off what you said.
Anyways surgeons steel will pretty much get JUST as sharp as any high grade steel, and wont look choppy if you polish it, but it simply wont hold the edge nearly as well as a better steel.

also budding in here but i am 14 about 5'2 120 and pull 50 pounds and could pull more but that weight seems confortable

A little scared disagreeing with someone twice my size. But I'm not just short, I'm also small. Next time you're in a clothing store, stop by the kids clothes section and check out (children's) size 10. That's me.

I do work out, sit-ups, stairmaster, and some other exercises, although, except for the stairmaster, I've had to lay off for a few months. I know girls can get really muscular. I've seen the pictures. But I like looking like a girl.

I'm not advocating that people hunt with a lightweight bow for the sport or challenge. But my state just lowered the minimum age to 10 and I just wanted to point out that with the right practice,a small personcan hunt if you make sure of your shot.

A boy my age that I know hit a deer in the hind leg with a 55 lb. bow. The deer died because he hit the femoral artery and the deer bled to death before it went too far. I would never take a shot unless I absolutely knew it was right. Whatever you're shooting, you have to be sure of what you're doing and do it right.

I don't know at this point if I'll be able to hunt this fall or not. But if I do, I assure you I won't release an arrow from my little bow unless I'm close enough to make it a killing shot. I know my limits and I'll work within them, I promise you.

im just getting into this conversation so i dont know whats goin on but i know that shooting a bow takes alot of muscles that dont get worked out normally im 20 and about 190lbs. and i could bearly pull back 60lbs last year and now my bow is maxed out at about 70 so just shoot and get your muscles used to shooting and you will be able to pull more.

Well Huntingirl can't yell at me for a while. I've been forbidden to practice with my bow for the next few months and looks like I will miss deer season.

I wasn't yelling at you lol, I was merely saying that you should never settle. You can always do better, and that goes for everything in life. Boyfriends, school work, college, jobs, hunting.

im pretty strong and have been shooting for3 years so that makes abig differance. and for me a 50 is very easy, but its just maxxed out on my bow and i dont need any higher unless i go like elk or moose hunting
