The first trad deer I killed was with a 45LB longbow and a simmons shark (wo the bleeder)

The deer jumped the string and I hit spine. Went thru severing the cord dropping the deer.
I followed up with a double lung

It was a 26 yd shot with a 2018 arrow and 125 grain simmons.
Im thinking that you could easily shoot thru a deer with a 30 lb bow and a sharp 2 blade.
Not saying I would, just saying that I think its possible

Iv`e killed plenty with 47@27 with Simmons heads. A lot with bleeders in as well. A good friend has killed probably 100 hogs with 45 lbs and Simmons landsharks.RC
