I made short work of the deboning process, then we both packed up and headed down the mountain.

Ryan,
What draw weight did you have to go down to?

Matt, I'm at low 40s at my draw. Over the last couple years I've dropped 20lbs. I'm hoping to work back to low 50s.

Ryan,
I had tendonitis in my elbow and went down to 44lbs at my 27 inch draw. Haven't shot a animal with it yet but looks like the low draw weight worked well for you.

Thank you David!
Matt,
The low draw weight is working out okay so far. Two holes with a 3 blade VPA. These animals are on the smaller side though.

Glad you were able to get back in the field. I can't imagine the frustration of not being able to shoot! Congrats on the goat!

Nice work Ryan. I have a friend who is shooting low to mid 40's at the moment. He is a bit apprehensive about hunting at that weight as he only draws around 26 inches. I will steer him to this thread.

Thank you William!
My draw is a 26.5" and wouldn't hesitate to take a close shot on deer sized animals and smaller. For the goats that I'm hunting, I'll continue to use my 3 blade VPAs with this set up.
