I've been hunting with 46-48# and very pleased with the results. I just bought a set of 56", 42#@26 draw weight limbs for my PCH. I thought the limbs might be a bit light. The bow is fun to shoot and I'm thinking it will be terrific in my turkey blind.
I'm thinking to use Beman MFX Classics, spine 600, 27", with 125 single bevel Helix with 50 grain insert. According to Stu's Calculator with which I have fantastic results, this will be a 407 grain arrow @ 9.6 GPP. I could also go with 500 Spine, 27.5" with 125 grain Helix and 100 grain insert. This would add 100 grains and get me to 12 GPP.

You fill in the animal on the blank.
The question gets asked often by newer shooters and this should help them understand what well put together/tuned equiptment can do in the woods.
Not trying to start anything with those that shoot heavier bows. Many EXCELLENT shooters/hunters use much heavier weight bows. And everyone should shoot the bow that they are MOST accurate with. For me it's 50 to 58 pounds depending on the bow.
Great thread for anyone that needs or is most comfortable with a lighter poundage bow.

Right now it will probably be my go to bow for hunting this fall and I'm looking for recommendations on a heavy arrow setup. What's everyone else using in your 40-45# bows?

40#@30 Centaur
125 grain Woodsman broadhead POC shaft
It was a hard quartering shot the arrow came out just behind the far shoulder with about half of the arrow in the deer and half sticking out. She didn't go far.

41# 1966 Bear Grizzly.
WW broadhead with 250 gr. total up front.
Hunting with my brother and a buddy on an annual bowhunting trip to Michigan (our 15th year). Three days left in the hunt, and I was out at first light in a small white oak that sits at the edge of a swamp / swail that divides some open ground and a small wood lot. Stand is not more than 10' off the ground, and the branches on the oak afford great concealment.
Not 5 minutes on stand, and this deer came in from the open ground on the swamp side of me. I shot him through the lungs at approx 12 yards.
He ran in a loop of about 40 yards that ended on the far edge of a thicket. I couldn't see him, but I knew that he had stopped running. After about 30 seconds of silence, I heard him bound twice. Then heard him crash. Yeehaw!
As you can tell from my smile, I was pretty proud of this buck. I'd had a couple selfbow deer kills (two of them with bows in the low 40#'s), but this was my first with a recurve in my third year of trying one. Can't wait for the 2014 hunt!

Shot this doe at 15 yards BUT used a 145 grain Snuffer. It hit the offside leg bone and still managed to poke the tip of the Snuffer thru the hide on the off side. Deer went 60 yards. Always loved Snuffers but figured I didnt have enough horsepower for them to work. Shows me again its not what you shoot em with but where you shoot em that counts!!

Post by: MnFn on March 16, 2016, 11:28:00 AM
For me, I think there is a point to shoot heavier.
I just put in for a moose, elk and sheep hunting permit. I intend to shoot the same bow all hunting season. Besides the possibility of hunting one of these animals I am already planning on bear and whitetail.
I want my shooting to be as consistent, as dialed in if you will as I can get it. So no jumping between lighter and heavier bows, different weight arrows, etc. Same bow, same arrow for everything. Seems to make sense to me. It is one more thing I can control, even if it just a confidence thing.

I also shoot a centaur.. It is such a good bow. I don't know that I have held a better bow in my hands.. yet. Not saying they don't exist, just saying I like this one the most.

Personally, I practice for the animals that I hunt(hogs and deer),that translates to close shots with a bow I can handle.
I've lost count of how many hogs I've seen killed with bows under 45# draw weight(several under 40#). I don't know that we've had a hunter in camp (in 6 years) that's had a bow 60# or above.Just my 2 cents. Great pics! Keep em coming.

3 years ago I shot a small doe with my bow. Wood arrows & 165gr Ace Express. 20 yard shot and the arrow came out the offside by about 12". 40 yard recovery.
(http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc157/pactac/ARROW%202012/mydoe.jpg) (http://s214.photobucket.com/user/pactac/media/ARROW%202012/mydoe.jpg.html)
Last year I got this 8 point with the same bow. 20 yard shot. Same wood arrow/broadhead combo as with the doe. 100 yard recovery. The arrow passed through but did not fall out until he fell. The arrow was beside the deer where he fell & was good to hunt with again after washing it off & sharpening.

Took this doe with a 42 lb Bear TD and VPA....pass thru and deer went 75 yards
(http://i.imgur.com/IMmu2EH.jpg?1)
Sika doe taken with a 41 lb Titan and a Snuffer, broadhead passed thru and into the ground but Sika are so short she broke it off when she took off, went 50 yards
(http://i.imgur.com/AmXgCyu.jpg)
18 yards shot on a VA doe with the same Titan and a Snuffer. Quartering away, broadhead punched thru off side shoulder but stayed in the 100 yards or so the deer went.
(http://i.imgur.com/c7tRD7t.jpg)
Same Titan but used a VPA at 20 yards, complete pass thru and deer went 75 yards with a profuse blood trail.
Again and again, it's not what you shoot its where ya put it and whatever you put in the good spot make sure its really sharp and you'll be gold.
Post by: Buckeye1977 on January 17, 2017, 02:11:00 PM
My 2016 buck taken with bw PLV 45@26". Gold tip 500 and 175vpa 3 blade. Had a complete pass through on him with about 60 yard blood trail. It was my first year returning to trad after about 20 years of shooting wheel bows. Was always told you needed a lot of poundage to kill an animal and that was part of the reason I stuck to compound. Starting looking at info on this website and found out that wasn't the case especially after seeing this thread! Put it where it counts and you'll have no problems!

I got full penetration but not a pass through. I believe I clipped the shoulder going in and the offside shoulder going out. Otherwise, I think it would have been a pass through.

I use to shoot mid 50lbs bows, but due to shoulder issue's, I have been shooting 40-43lb bows since 2013
2013:
This little doe I actually killed by pulling my bow with my teeth, due to a broken collar bone.
40lb A&H Longbow. 200gr VPA 3 blade: 8 yard shot. 65 yard recovery

40@27" Howard Hill Tembo and a 145gr Snuffer.15 yard shot while the buck was working an overhanging branch. Think I've hit on a combo that I may be pushing things a bit as far as getting good penetration, going to start shooting grizzly Instinct heads with this bow and see what we get...

It seems to me that penetration is more to do with momentum as opposed to outright speed.
Great shots!

A late season doe shot 12/16/17 at 12 yards with a 40lb Howard Hill Tembo, 1816 and a Grizzly Instinct. Quartering away the arrow penetrated to the crest and the deer went less than 100 yards :thumbsup:

9/1 in Delaware shot with a 40 lb Bear 59 and a 550 gr footed cedar arrow and Grizzly Instinct at 18 yards. I thought it was a complete pass thru as the arrow disappeared but when I gutted the deer the cresting was in the chest...sorry for the crappy cell phone pic.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get much stumping done with thigh deep snow. Fortunately, I was able to make the most of the carpenter ant issue.
Full disclosure—— these ants, while alive had injested poison, so although they are free ranging, both the poison and the snow slowed them down a tad.
I placed a handful on a softball sized ice chunk and backed up to about 12 yards.
I had a small “ant-fever” attack and shot over them on the first attempt. I’ll have to wait until spring to recover that arrow.
My second shot was right on and the 500 grain ACE blunt tipped arrow exploded both the ants and ice.
I was only able to find one intact body. I’m thinking shoulder mount.

Im switching this year to a 40 pound bow. Curious of who uses three blades? I like them but worry about penetration/passthru's
I use three blade and 4’s with bleeders. No problems

42 @ 28
Complete pass through, arrow was lying a few yards away.
Post by: blacktailbob on October 14, 2019, 10:10:58 AM
Not according to FWC bluemelon.
44@30". Thought I missed it at first since this small pack of porkers were moving through pretty quick. Moving shot and he acted more spooked than hit. Arrow was sticking a few inches in the dirt and didn't see the blood on it till I pulled it out. Pig only went about 20 yds. Missed his lungs but clipped the artery right behind them. Zwickey, No Mercy.

Either way "harvest" is a PC term.

I still have a 52# Black Widow PLX that I shoot a bit. Its kept in reserve for a time when I may get a chance at something larger although that opportunity is rapidly diminishing. My go to is a PLII 45@28 with a new PLX Osage and Cocobolo 39@ 28 hanging on the wall behind me, and an old Dacron string MA III 45# @28 also available for use.

The shot was taken on the deer at 16 yards...complete pass thru...deer traveled less than 25 yards and expired...entrance cut was 4 1/4 inches while the exit cut was 2 1/2"s(used a tape measure)....typical Simmon's Treeshark carnage....

The bow I built from materials I won in one of Kenny Mckenzie’s drawings, except riser which was leftover pieces I had. Built quiver top, string, & silencers. Ace broadheads were won in a door prize at KTBA, so the buck was only a bonus!

Many folks disagree with my logic about shooting fawns...
The meat is sweet and tender, and a death by my arrow, is certainly quicker and less painful than those fangs.

The deer I shot this season was quartering away. Arrow entered the ribs on the right side and passed thru liver, lung and top of the heart and exited in front of the left front leg. Arrow stuck in the ground and the deer rand 15 to 20 yards, stood for a few seconds and fell over.

This is the closest that I could come. Bow is probably around 45#, but probably 48# at my draw. The fact that it is an all fiberglass bow from the late 1950's should make it fall in that performance range though.
Could I get more details about your fiberglass bow like maker and model and whether you are using a ff string, etc? Thanks!
Post by: pdk25 on June 01, 2021, 11:36:58 PM
It is Paul Bunyan 100 recurve. I have 3 of them now, and they really don't seem to be close to marked weight. This one scales 50# @ 30", rather than the 50# that it is marked. Funny thing is I just shot one of my new ones that is marked 55#, and I am guessing it to be all of that, and maybe more. My scale is packed up, but I just ordered another one today. Anyway, it has a fast flight string made by TenRing Strings. Great strings. I have way more wool on that string than I need. Very quiet bow. I also have a Paul Bunyan 300, and a ply flex. I think the Paul Bunyan is likely the best all fiberglass recurve that was made, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes that feels otherwise. The 300 is nice, but doesn't have as much curve to it. I think it is 66", compared to the 61" 100. I may actually do some chrono work with them. That 55# seems more stout than my 60# model.

My fist bow was a Slazenger flat bow about 30lb when I was 13 or so, kept the larder full of Rabbits and the odd Pheasant.
This was all back in the 60s when I didn't know better as your not supposed to hunt with a bow over here.
I progressed to 40/45 and then to 50/55 lb bows and finally a 61 lb H&H big five, and now at 71 going back to 40/45s
And I must say I like them best.
This as been a wonderful thread and all credit to those who have contributed well done, I have learned a great deal from you gent's. :thumbsup:

My buddy harvested four deer last year with a 37# bow at his draw length. All pass thru’s and short recoveries. Set up this 1965 Bear Kodiak Magnum and built the arrow just prior to season….…34#s at my buddy’s actual draw . He harvested this deer yesterday….17 yard shot…complete pass thru and 30 yard recovery….He is 5 for 5…

I hunted with bows 60# and Up for the last 47 years
Then I struggled drawing at a deer on Blackbeard Last December
Can’t have that!!
Made some changes soon as I got home
And I am really looking forward to continuing with this light bow

I always hunt with 60 lb bows but two years ago I had problems in both shoulders and had to drop weight and lay completely off shooting for over 10 months. This Arkansas Black Bear was about the third shot that I made in almost 11 months to allow my shoulders to get better. This bow is a sinew backed juniper that I cut off my place and made it is 45 @ 26 on a cold day and around 40 on warm days.
Blew through the bear at around 15 yards using a single bevel Grizzly on a Douglas Fir Surewood shaft.

Nice trophy Blackbuck Bish, what was your arrow weight & broadhead type.
Arrow is a .600 spine Easton Axis carbon shaft. Total arrow weight is just under 500gr. The broadhead was a 150gr German Kinetic XL.

hello wannabe1...i was going threw this post a seen a reply you made...now i am not trying to change your mind at all...but if look at the oregon regs on page 18 or 20 there is a spot called (species specific weapons restrictions) and the bow weight has been changed to min of 40# for elk...just trying to keep you in the elk game with out blowing the shoulder out...goog luck...Hot Dang, that is some awesome news! There is a place not far from me owned by the Stark Industries forestry company, that has a small herd I've run into a couple times in the past. They only allow bowhunting on their property so, I might look more into elk now.

I generally like to use bows in the 50-52 lb range. But I recently traded into a 44# Liberty Edge. It seems to fit me quite well. I am going to wait until after hunting season to tune it, but I see possibilities with this bow.
If I ever try 3D, I think this is the bow for that.

That bull took a few leaps at the shot..then walked away..at about 60yds he started to wobble…few more steps and he tipped over. He was 12yds away when I shot..he was one of 2 good bulls in a group of seven that came to the water…it was exciting. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
