I know someone who shot a moose and the arrow went through it like butter.  He said it sounded like he shot a big bag of jelly.  But then I see pictures of other moose with a lot of back-end-arrow-shaft sticking out of them.  Here in Alaska people get pretty angry, talking about moose and caribou they see running around with arrows sticking out of them. 

I know that 50# is the minimum weight for them here.  And I've got a couple bows in the 50s that I would be comfortable using.  But I've never shot a moose yet, and it makes me cringe to think of watching a moose run away with most of the wrong end of my arrow sticking out of it.  That's why I'm shooting my 67# bow every day before moose season...
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.
