80# is alot of horsepower. Do you really want to practice with that much?

 Yes I am, I have a gentlemen from back east who is loaning me his Africa bow to use and I bought 6 arrows with heads for the hunt....So now I get to buy a bow for myself I figured #80 to start well be good I know it well be a jump from my other #60 bow but the one I shot in the store was so smooth and felt amazing
