aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 they have 80lb draw weight ones in the u.s, they tackle big deer over there with. theres sumthin on youtube on huntin pheasents wich are flying in the air about 15 feet off the ground, bloody waste of arrows if you ask me since they miss % of the time! and when they do get one its so funny, "ooh yer, im the man#aaaannnn! youda man homeyo!" look on the vids sectino its somewhere on there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
victor 10 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 ive already seen that like 3 years ago, it was on a diffrant sight, you dont need 80lb for deer, 60 is the max id use, is for liek buffalo and very large game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 sorry i'm getting cofused. i don't know anything about bow hunting i just thought that80 ib was used for deer. what sort of power output would a 60 ib draw weight bow give out?

J Darcy 5,871 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 a 15 lb bow would be unsuitable for a roo...in fact IMO unsuitable for medium sized + live animals.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 15 lbs, my lad can draw that on a recurve. who the hell would hunt with that power. i used to shoot 5olbs with a black dougles recurve and i wouldnt hunt even if allowed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 15 lbs, my lad can draw that on a recurve.who the hell would hunt with that power. i used to shoot 5olbs with a black dougles recurve and i wouldnt hunt even if allowed BBB at 50lb it would be adequate for small game and critters up to , say, goat size as long as the distance wasnt too far. Personally, like you say, i would always plumb for a heavier draw weight. I was very smooth with mine set at about 68lb. The target being a rabbit sized cut-out and i would hit it every time at 30 yards. That was with a compound and low let off.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 no fun in compound but as you say much better for hunting. i used to be in a field archery club and went all over competing every sunday. i made my own arrows and shot in the hunter class. wooden arrows, recurve bow and no sighting aids. brilliant hitting a kill zone on a lifesized bear at 70 yrds, threading the arrow through trees or across water.
