Bow hunter question

Thought I shot 70 pounds until I had my bow checked yesterday and found out I was shooting 60. It completely changed my arrow set up.

75 pounds. My old one was 90 pounds with no let off. It makes for a nice decoration in my barn. I killed a lot of critters with it though.

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

My first bull elk ( Rosevelt) Went down with my 42 lb Jennings. Cut on impact Broadhead. Also killed a P&Y Black bear with it that year and a mule deer doe. I shoot 50 lbs now and have for a long time..( 20 yrs. ) Oregon requires it for elk hunting.

I hunted with my old Enticer Carbonite at 95 lbs. We had to twist up the cables to get there. My current bow I will be right around 80 lbs this year. Never have to worry about penetration. It will plow right through both shoulder blades.
