Debbie,at Legend bows,
You wouldnt know me from Adam,But i was shootin next to Ya,at Petaluma,at the practice range.I have no doubt about your bow setup at all.

My go-to bow has been my 50# recurve, but as little as I've been able to shoot lately, I will probably be shooting my 44# Lost Creek. I picked up a 1956 Bear Kodiak 38@28 dual shelf and have been shooting it more and more. With a 30.5" CE90 and a total of 250gr up front, there is no doubt in my mind that a proper shot on a whitetail would give complete pass through. That little arrow smacks the target like it's really serious. Be kind of fun taking a deer with a bow from my teenage years.

Old age and bad shoulders for me, I am in the low 30s now but I am shooting better than ever. Actually winning a few 3Ds now.

I'm pretty young and shoot kinda heavy bows so I don't have a dog in the fight.  I am always amazed at just how powerful two "sticks and a string" really are!

It gives me peace of mind to know when my body is on it's down slide I'll still eat wild game taken in the manor I choose.... "two sticks and a string"

i bought my wife a longbow for her wedding gift...a big jim buffalo, 30#@26".  She's deadly with it. no deer yet, but a couple small pigs.
  do what's good for you- and take care of your arms and shoulders. A light bow has got to be better than staples in your shoulder.

OK, folks - I've got a deal in the works on a 35# Bear Montana, which should be much easier on my shoulders.

Traxx,Yep we were there next time introduce yourself.It was a good weekend.

[sawtoothscream]

my main shooting set up right now is probably about 38-40# and I love it.  Cant shoot for a long time and not have my shoulder hurt ( injured shoulder before summer started).  I shoot arrows under 350gr with it though and its just a 3d/ small game set up.  But if I dump up arrow weight im sure it would get the job done if I kept shots around 15yds

I have a Old Neck injury{old Rodeo wreck}That has been givin me fits for a while now.Ive been dropping down in weight for the last few years,due to it.I work hard for a liveing{Farrier}everyday,so when i go out for fun,i dont want to hurt.Havent put in for big game tags,for a few years now and have concentrated,on bein a small game specialist.Havein fun doin it too,so,im leanin toward the lighter side these days.

Debbie,
Not shure,if you were at the Foster a couple years ago,but i know Mike was.We visited about Shoein and startin young horses,for quite a while there.We may have allready met.LOL

[Gapmaster]

Debbie, you know you would do alot better at those tournaments if you quit letting Mike keep score for ya.
