[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 3007946, member: 97050"] You don't need 80 lbs to hunt. As I've mentioned, I myself do it for performance. The draw weight is easy for me, there’s no real down side. I tag out in archery in most states I go every year. I've made long shots, I've had good stalks, but for every success I've had, I've probably blown 10-15 or more stalks. A lot of times I get into no win stalks where a buck is surrounded by an army of doe, and is ranged 75y away, or waking on a ridge looking down a Colorado drainage at a bull at 12k ft on shale rock . Or a rutting buck walking out to feed in open country on a hillside feeding on sage…perfect broadside at 100y. All real stories. That last one, I had a good shot, but a wind gust was down in the that valley, and my brother in law who was standing behind me said the wind took it two feet to the left. I went up in draw and arrow weight after that, and it's made a difference. Still have great penetration. I don't shoot mechanicals though. That last story was the buck in this picture. Simply a medium body 2x3. Just another one that got away. [/QUOTE]
