Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.

This year I used 510 grains out of my 51# Kanati, but I think I'm going up to 600-650 carbons for next year. They seem to shoot well and should penetrate even better.
Kanati 58" 44# @ 28" Green glass on a green riser
Bear Kodiak Magnum 52" 45# @ 28"
Bodnik Slick Stick longbow 58" 40# @ 28"
Bodnik Kiowa 52" 45# @ 28"
Kanati 58" 46# @ 28" R.I.P (2007-2015)
Self-made Silk backed Hickory Board bow 67" 49# @ 28"
Bear Black Bear 60" 45# @28"
