"He has a perfectly good bow, (a 45# Grizzly)"

Maybe he wants a NEW bow????? (Who doesn't want a new bow???)
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

Do not try to talk him into it ,let him figure things out for himself.  He may surprise you.

I switched from a 50 pound Toelke whip this year to a 42 pound Toelke whip.  My new bow has the high speed limbs and really zips an arrow.  I had a great pass through and quick recovery on a big doe this year with this bow and very sharp grizzly broadhead.  This bow has allowed me to take my form to new levels and I can shoot many more arrows without getting sore.  For me this was a great move!

I had a tough time convincing a fella to drop in poundage. Neck problems...shoulder problems and the dummy still wanted to shoot too many pounds. The dummy was me. after two and a half years at 47 lbs and 38 critters...I`m finally a believer.RC

LOL.  RC, it doesn't matter what you use.  They know it is you, and just drop over dead to get it over with.
