need opinions on hunting setup
« on: April 11, 2011, 03:31:00 PM »
im shooting a 45# @ 26.5" pittsley predator classic with an 8st sbd string w/ silencers.  my arrow weighs a bit over 450 grains w/ 18% foc.  if im using a 3 blade non-vented woodsman elite (175 gr), should this be an adequate setup for large whitetails (180# plus) or should i go to a 2 blade (or heavier limbs)?  i bought this bow on a whim and it quickly became my "favorite" but i'm on the fence with this setup for hunting.  thanks in advance

You're basically shooting 10 GPP (grains per pound) which is fine.
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 42# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 10.02
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 37# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 11.37
