BIG_BUCK_1 Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 My buddy has shoulder problems and he would like to start hunting. Is there any kind of bow that has decent speed at prolly 50-55 pounds? Thanks Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODH Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Bows ya, I have my bow down to 52 pounds right now. You can get just about any bow down to around that low of weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STXExtremeBowHunting Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Bows My nephew shoots the Mathews SwitchBack with 50 to 60 lb limbs. It is lightning fast and with proper shot placement will drop any animal. Remember, Speed does not matter that much these days. Most bows, even the 50 to 60 lb bows are shooting plenty fast to get good pass throughs. There is a old saying " Speed Thrills, being accurate Kills". I'm sure that any 50 to 60 lb bow will serve your buddy right. A good friend of mine got his wife a Hoyt that is a 40 to 50 lb bow and she hunts with it at 48 lbs and has taken plenty of deer with it. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Re: Bows Plenty of bows out there that will kill a deer at lower draw weights. Ted Nugent shoots a lower draw weight bow. Been having some bad problems with my shoulders a lot here lately, might have to take my 70 lb draw weight down some or consider a new bow.

If it's allowed and his shoulder is in bad shape I would possibly head this way as well. But if recovery is the key the bow could help strengthen the shoulder if set low enough. Remember if it's cold it will be much harder for him to draw especially with his shoulder injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
