I saw this video earlier today on another site.

Your video is excellent. Glad you changed your outlook on bows under 50# for bowhunting.

I can relate to your 42# recurve since one of my two recurves is a 42# bow.

I shoot a #44 @28 and don't doubt it's capabitiy. I prefer at least 10gp# arrow, and a heavier broadhead, but won't argue with what works for you.

It doesn't take a high poundage bow to nbe effective,just the right arrow.

I shoot a 38# longbow and know what it can do on a animal. Sharp BH, 10-12gpp, right spot, make it lethal. Good video.

When I use to teach archery to  kids the first thing I would ask is, who can stick their finger into the target. The targets were cardboard stacked and compressed.

The kids would laugh and say they couldn't. When I explained to them that their bows could and very easy. That got their attention and they realized what a bow could do, even a kids bow.

Very nice shooting!   :thumbsup:    Doesn't it just "up" the confidence level when you feel comfortable with your setup?   :archer2:

Good shooting and great form on the video and don't mean to hijack your thread but.....

Since we're on the light bow hunting topic I have a question for you guys. ...

I have a set of 40lb tradtech ILF limbs on a 13" zipper riser.   I'm figuring that its pulling 44-46 pounds at my 29" draw.   When I was arrow tuning I noticed that unweighted gold tip 35/55 with 200gr muzzy phantom tip weighing in at 455gr @ 178fps were the best flying setup.  They fly like darts.  I think these might be a little too light but when I put in weight tubes and they weigh 590gr and clock at 156fps.  They seem to fly better unweighted.  

Unweighted they have similar trajectory to my other bows.  This ought to do for deer/black bear/caribou?

What are some of your guys setup specs that you have harvested game with and what kind of performance did you get?
