So I'm going to Maine to try and kill one of the biggest animals in North America. So I figure I need to put as many chips in my stack as I can.
I do not know anyone personally who has shot anything bigger than a deer or bear with a stick bow. I have no one to bounce this off of with real experience, so to the tradgang we go.
Heres where I'm at, first had heavier limbs made I went from 53# to 60#. I seem to be handling that no problem actually getting better releases.
Now I'm building arrows, so far I've come up with this. CX heritage 250's, 100gr brass insert, 200 grain point, total arrow weight 645 gr. Arrow from groove of knock to back of point is 28" giving me an foc around 21%. I have also played with 175 grain tips that give me 620gr at around 18% foc. I'm leaning towards heavier but not sure.
I know arrow flight and placement is the key but here is my REASON for WORRY, a 25" draw.
BH is probably going to be either a Woodsman or a VPA three blade.
What do yall think. I appreciate all the input and help I can get. Thanks Joe
