ledofthezep Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Should be pleanty with a good arrow. The mini14 is more fun though, IMHO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudSlinger09 Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) lol i love that friggin gun ! thanks for the opinion led well the reason we wanted a compound bow is so our neighbors wont know what were doin back there in the woods , we moved to a new neighborhood thats out in the sticks about 3 yrs ago , and there is lots of game . the problem is is that our whole neighborhood is so stuck up , they call the police just for poppin firecrackers . so we gotta be silent . but it was fun seeing their faces while i had the big 4x4 utility quads lol the exhaust snorkels were noisy as hell ! i sware these are some of the snoodiest people in the world in my hood !

Fireman-hott Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 40# outta kill a bobcat no problem. The minimum for a deer is a 35# draw wieght. I wouldn't shoot the mechanical broadheads with a low draw weight, stick with a traditional or as i like the full cut. Like a sabertooth with 2 bleeder blades. I shoot a 75# draw wieght, hardest part is getting it back, but once I pass the wall I have an 85% letoff. I can hold it with my pinky. I shoot a PSE Baby-G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman-hott Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Sabertooth Broadhead Clciky. Thats the broadhead I recommend, I love em more than my mech heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee~ Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Thats a good little bow....you can crank it up more if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I'm not one for mechanical broadheads either. A good traditional head is as good as anything. I forgot what I have used last, but it shot as straight as my practice points. I shoot a 70# draw weight, with about a 85% letoff also. I think 40# would be iffy on a hog honestly, they have a very very tough hide and it's hard to break through with light draw weights.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I've got a PSE Nova, I really like it PSE is a good bow company. I bought mine about 9 years ago and it's accurate with awesome consistancy. Definately will drop a well shot deer. It's amazing the amount of force the PSE bows put into the arrow if I shoot the same arrow as my friends with higher draw rates my arrows always go deeper, I guess it all in the cams but I'm no expert. I use mine mostly for shooting carp and the occasional bull frog I don't have the time to bow hunt anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxBansheeRacing Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 . I am still growing (at 15) so I decided to get a Browning Fury because it has a ten inch draw length adjustment. It will hopefully last me until I quit growing, then I'll be moving to a pse, bowtech, or hoyt. The more weight your pulling the better, you can take longer shots and still be confident you will pass through or at least make a clean shot. The pse might also be able to be cranked up higher than 50 #, mine is rated for 50-60 and and right now I'm pulling 78#. What kind of arrows will you be shooting (aluminum, carbon, etc)?

MudSlinger09 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 (edited) hell i dont know , probably something cheap , probably aluminum Edited November 25, 2004 by MudSlinger09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 I would think 40# is iffy on hogs but other game at 30 yds or less should be fine, i personaly shoot a hoyt tenacity and is set for 70# draw weight and i use mechanical broadheads but the deer around here arent all that large either 160lbs is on the large end of the scale i thing the heaviest deer ive ever shot is around 120lbs. for hogs i wouldnt use a mechanical though. What is the cost for a non resident to hunt in texas? im wanting to go somewhere out of state next year and hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxBansheeRacing Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 I would recommend Easton XX75's if your planning on shooting aluminum. Best arrow for the price out there IMO. Everybody seems to have a different preference on broadheads, the best I have found (at least in combination with the xx75's) is 4 blade muzzy's. Bad to the bone.
