My son shot his first deer at 12 years old, 35# bow, two blade, broad head sticking out offside shoulder. Deer ran maybe 50 yards. I use to shoot 82# bow, tore my labrum, went to 70#, several “hard cam speed bows” later and just over 60# tore my labrum in my shoulder again. Both times letting my bow down, not drawing. Now I’m 56 and shooting a mild cam 50# bow with a 652gr arrow 100 gr inoutsert 200gr single bevel broadheads. It blows through everything! Better penetration than I’ve ever had. Shared a campfire with uncle Ted, he helped me get my thinking straight, along with Ashby. Wasn’t that big of a deal in the 80’s, seems everyone has turned into speed freaks these days.... Accuracy, Penetration, Confidence at the moment of truth. If your new to Archery do not let your ego cause you to Over Bow with a heavy bow! Go light, you’ll enjoy it more and be more successful.

What broadhead and arrow

@tucker2074

Жыл бұрын

The arrow is the most important part of your setup

Shooting a 52 lb draw with a 30" DL - I shoot 100 grain Broadheads and can place 4 shots into a 5" circle at 33 yards. At age 63, having retired after spending more than 30 years, Army Special Forces, I have pretty serious osteoarthritis in both rotator cuffs areas of my shoulders (far too many pushups, recoil damage shooting heavy caliber rifles, carrying heavy rucksacks etc..) - and, all that was 15 years ago. I have found that tuning the bow, getting the sights perfect, the right arrows and broadheads - that is just as important as draw weight. I can draw smooth without spooking a deer only 20 yds away - and I can hold at full draw for a long time. I won't shoot a Whitetail past 35 yards anyway - even if conditions seem perfect (never had it perfect anyway). So, good video - adjust your bow to YOUR individual abilities and what feels comfortable for you.

Ted Nugent only draws around 48lb. It's all about shot placement, my local bow shop said to sit on a chair if u can make a full draw with keeping both feet on the floor then your good

@shadyp-zv3uf

Your totally right, a good cutting broadhead made for penetrating and shot placement is the most important. Uncle Ted Nugent has said many times that a fifty pound bow will kill just about anything in north America especially with the compound bows of the last 10 years or so they are so effective and efficient at doing their job. And as far as the chair thing, I shoot every distance (50 yards up to 20) from a chair and standing. Because if you hunt from a ground blind even some of the time you should have those sitting shots down!

Incidentally, two really accomplished archers (Randy Ulmer and John Dudley) shoot pretty heavy arrows and try to keep their speeds fairly constant - adding arrow weight as performance increases in order to keep the speed around 270-280 fps.

I also test the sitting in chair and drawing it like another person commented. Reason for that is that more often than not I don’t have a good chance to stand up in my tree stand…and even if I do I don’t always feel comfortable doing it because I get too paranoid thinking I’ll make too much of a movement lol. So I prefer 50# overall. Plus I always like to consider the fact that I might have been sitting for a few hours and maybe it’s a cold day and I’m freezing, can’t be struggling trying to pull back then!

Totally agree. I killed my first deer with a bow when I was 13 with a PSE Stinger set at 40 lbs. I practiced alot and shot it through both lungs. Deer dropped within 50 yards. Killed a buck with the same bow when I was 14 set at 50 lbs. Complete pass through at 30 yards with muzzy trocars. This year (I'm 15, and I'll have the same bow set at 60 lbs with mussachia NBS 100 broadheads. I shoot alot of outdoor archery, 3D and such. I use the same hunting bow set at 55 lbs. I shoot 112 arrows in 2 hours in the PSAA animal round, without fatigue. I know that the poundage will kill a deer, and the added accuracy from practice and shooting just makes the bow and shooter setup one less thing to worry about in the hunting equation.

I have about 60 to 63 Lb draw weight on my Bear Inception. Do you think it is recommended to keep the strength training before every hunt or target shooting?

I would say drawing back 10-20 times and not get tired, not 30; that’s seems excessive. Keep in mind for hunting it’s about 1 shot 2 at most in a hunt not continual draws. I agree about being at full draw for a minute

It's a much different experience as your recurve slowly builds all the way through the draw and peaks as you get further back. The compound ramps up quickly and peaks much sooner into the draw cycle, so it affects your muscles differently. Lower the poundage some more and keep after it. You'll get there.

Hey Joel, we're based out of the midwest (Illinois) so we don't know a whole lot about javelina hunting. But what I can tell you, is that a 40# bow with a 600 grain arrow is going to be shooting relatively slow. Depending on how quick the reflexes are of a javelina, that might get you into trouble. I'd suggest possible getting new modules, or limbs to get the draw weight up a bit if you're planning to stick with a 600 grain arrow. But with that said, you should still be able to kill a javelina with that setup and a fixed blade broadhead.

It's pretty simple - heavier draw weight means the bow is faster and gets to the animal before it can duck or jump at the sound of the shot. And a faster bow has a flatter trajectory which means accuracy can theoretically be better at different distances.

The short answer is yes, you can get the draw weight lower. But it depends on the bow. For example, some bows are extremely adjustable in their draw length and draw weight. But some bows only have a 10lb range. Most higher-end bows are advertised as 50-60lb draw weight, or 40-50lb. And if you drop the draw weight below the threshold, it could potentially mess up the bow. What kind of bow did you get?

I read somewhere the other day that i can put a twist or 2 in my cables and bump my draw weight up from 58lbs to the 60lbs my limbs are supposed to be. They said it could be a bit of string stretch and thats why i lost a pound or 2. Is there truth to this?

The stretch most likely changed your ATA. If it did, I would twist the strings to get ATA and brace height back into spec, then check the cam timing/positions and lean. Also, I'm betting you would need more than 2 twists to gain 2lbs. Adding twists to the string will slightly decrease your draw length and adding twists to the cable will slightly increase the DL.

Sounds like you could definitely have the potential to pull back 70lbs. But drawing a bow is different than lifting weights. If you use the right muscles and develop a proper draw, you could definitely use a heavier draw bow.

He really says it in the first minute or so, that the draw weight you use is personal preference and you really just need to make sure you're above your state's minimum.

I'm 12 will my 45 pounds pinitrait good

How many pounds should I use to kill a deer from 70yrds? ..I spot and stalk out west. My bow is at 65 and now I'm ready to shoot from 70 but I'm looking for efficiency. Thank you.

Is it possible for one bow be harder to pull than another at similar poundage? I can pull a bear bow back at 60 like it's nothin but bought a pse and can't even budge it at 70.

Yes, it all depends on the cam design. A bow at 60lbs made in 2020 or 2021, will feel way easier to draw than a bow at the same draw weight made 10-15 years ago.

@@ericbayley8539 If they are both new bows, you shouldn't notice too much of a difference if they're at the same weight. However, going from 60 to 70 pounds is somewhat significant. But if you can draw 60 back easily, 70 shouldn't be that much harder...

Hunting public has a podcast where they show a lady almost getting a complete pass through a Buffalo on a forward facing shot with a 43 pound draw weight

Screw them both down until they are bottomed out all the way. Then back them off evenly a little bit at a time. Go the same amount of turns on top and bottom.

Os it ok to shoot my first buck on 45lb?? I'm 14 and my draw length is 27" ???

Absolutely! Most of us shot our first deer with 40 lbs of draw weight or so. It won't be an issue at all.

For me straight drawing is much easier than sky drawing on my 70lb bow
