Well, I set out on a quest to see if I could take three critters with my three different MOABs...
#1) My neighbor was having trouble with a Racoon getting into his garden and eating all his corn. He had put up all kinds of fencing, electric and otherwise, traps, and was going to try poison. He came over to let me what he was planning as my dog roams the backyard and he didn't want her to get into it. I asked him to give me a few days to see if I could take care of the problem for him...
After a couple of days scouting the Racoons entrance strategy into the garden I had him narrowed down to two entrance sites. So, at a flip of a coin I picked one of the entrances and set up about an hour before dark... Of course he picked the other to come into, which made for a lot longer shot. Ended up being a 34 yard shot with my 60", 68# @ 29" MOAB I'd just received from Jim this summer. 31" Gold Tip 75/95 w/260 grain Magnus 1's on the end. First arrow caught him a bit far back, but the second caught him facing me just off center inside the front right leg... very short recovery. Problem solved...
#2) This was another 60", 68# @ 29" MOAB I picked up through the classifieds here on the Gang. Shoots a bit different than my other 68#, with same arrow and a 125 grain Snuffer. But, while out stump shooting I went over to the pond and found a small frog that made a tempting target at 16 paces... I know it's kinda weak shooting a poor defenseless frog, but I did take him to the lake and caught a 2 foot long catfish with him the next day...
#3) This is another MOAB I picked up through the Classifieds here... 60", 59# @ 29" shooting 31" Gold Tip 55/75 with 175 grain Judo's while stumping again. 36 yards away, first arrow caught him mid body, and a follow up shot at 18 right behind the left ear.
Now I that I know these bows know what to do, I want to see what they can do on bigger critters...
