After all these years, I finally get to post some pics on this thread!!!! Due to elbow tendinitis, this is the first time I have ever hunted with a bow under 45#. Since deer season opened, I got these 3 critters, all with a Sarrels Blueridge longbow that is 44@29.

Opening day doe:

9pt (8pt mainframe with a kicker on G2):

Big boar:

Thanks Jarrod! Dad was able to go out with me and helped on the track. She was courteous enough to pass near my two track so I didn’t break a sweat

It's quite fascinating to realise that a modern bow of 40lb is just as fast as a 50 pounder that was made in the 70/80s.
My fist bow was a Slazenger flat bow about 30lb when I was 13 or so, kept the larder full of Rabbits and the odd Pheasant.
This was all back in the 60s when I didn't know better as your not supposed to hunt with a bow over here.
I progressed to 40/45 and then to 50/55 lb bows and finally a 61 lb H&H big five, and now at 71 going back to 40/45s
And I must say I like them best.
This as been a wonderful thread and all credit to those who have contributed well done, I have learned a great deal from you gent's.

WOW!!! This thread has been around a while..... Almost 10 years, and 32 pages.

We've lost a bunch of pictures over the years. But, last night just for giggles, I took a count.....
10 Bears, 3 Elk, 2 Caribou, and 2 Moose, including a Pope & Young Bull taken with a 41# recurve!!!

Check out page 6!!!

Mighty impressive.....

Have set up light poundage bows and built arrows for three hunters the past few years. All have been resoundingly successful.

My buddy harvested four deer last year with a 37# bow at his draw length. All pass thru’s and short recoveries. Set up this 1965 Bear Kodiak Magnum and built the arrow just prior to season….…34#s at my buddy’s actual draw . He harvested this deer yesterday….17 yard shot…complete pass thru and 30 yard recovery….He is 5 for 5…

5 for 5 is pretty damn impressive, Scott!!!!!

Congratulations, to both of you!!!!!

I took this doe last evening. As the arrow shows, she was hard quartering away when I shot her at a distance of around 20 yards. The bow is 43 lbs@28 and I have a draw length just a little over 27 inches. The arrow is a 5mm FMJ with a 150 grain Silver Flame and the whole arrow weighs in at 526 grains. I am quite pleased at the total performance.
