Minimum pound pull for deer?

(1/3) > >>

hawkeye:
What is the minimum pound pull to humanely harvest deer?

sse:
I used to have a 35 lb recurve and the people I talked to about it said that is OK, but it does reduce effective distance, which was fine with me.  Also, you can't go with any of those fancy blades, just a simple broadhead, and a light one at that, which was also fine with me.  

Less than that, dunno.  Somebody else will chime in.

Check yer local state law for this but I think #40 is the most common min.# for big game,at least from what I have seen.Practice alot and have fun.ridjrunr

hawkeye:
I have a #45 Fred Bear recurve that I inherited from my grandfather.  My biggest problem is I'm right eye dominant and left handed.  Works great for guns as I shoot right handed but with bows, my left arm is stronger than my right.

ridjrunr:
Hawkeye,It would be cool to see a pix of yer old bow.What model is it?ridjrunr
