There are more that I don't have pictures of, but they're not much to look at anyway.

The spike above was my first buck. All deer above were killed with 60# or more.

Nice guns, Hunsucker would be jealous

Nice deer quick Now me saying those are little and not manly is about as stupid as your agrument is about poudage I may have shot a few bigger deer than you, but thatdoes not make me a better hunter or more manly.It means are situations are differnet

Some guys can pull a pile of weight, some guys can not.It really should not matter aslong as theyhave enough KE.

I can tell you and youknow their are many more things that contribute to lost game.

Bad shot
Not enough Practice
Dull Broadheads

I would rather hammer the guys above than a guy who sets his bow up, and practice and knows exactly what he is shooting and his or hers limitaions.

PS
I can give you some tips on how to get some real guns

I just can't understand why we have guys pulling such low weight. My goodness, I'm a string bean and about as tough as a Kleenex, but I still manage to draw over 75# with relative ease. The guys I hunt with are drawing 80#+, one of them was an NCAA linebacker, but the other guy is just a skinny twerp like me.

I just don't understand how there are so many people out there who refuse to take advantage of the added benefits of stacking up some extra KE and letting your bow do what it's capable of.

Seriously, you can practice until you're blue in the face, but everything changes when it's 25 degrees, you're ice cold, frozen solid in a creaky aluminum stand, and all of a sudden, a buck comes racing around the ridge on a doe's tail. You stand, draw, shoot - then wonder how it all happened so fast. A full summer's worth of practice, straight out the window. You didn't use your open grip, your back wasn't straight, your feet weren't planted right, your string hit your coat, you don't even remember drawing the bow, and you're still wondering what yardage you used.

You can shoot plastic deer all year. You can play at the bow shop tuning for perfect flight. You can lob arrows and pinwheel x's all year during indoor spotleague at 212 fps.

It all changes in the treestand. That's where the rubber meets the road. That's where the air-conditioned indoor range ends, and the real blood and guts begins.

I want all the oomph I can get, at that point.

haha i guess you do recieve. maybe i should post all of Ted Nugents pics with deer shot with a bow since he shoots 53#, would that maybe convince you that IT DOESNT MATTER?!?!

This thread is about as ridiculious as the mine is bigger than yours argument. Big deer have nothing to do with strength as can be seen by Quick's man cannons, and has more to do with skill and patience. We all know lower poundage bows kill deer.

If you shoot a heavy bow take heed of the warnings of the older folks on the board who are complaining about injuries. I hear the argument about working out and what not but most people don't. Life is stessful and time consuming.

What aggrevates me about the man bow concept is, I've got a buddy that is about 5'4" mayb 140lb wet and all he wants is a 70lb bow. Why? Because he wants a man bow. Just plain dumb.

Ted's a total pansy. If he wasn't a multi-millionaire, he'd never kill a blessed thing. I personally know a guy who guided him on a whitetail hunt, and let's just say if the playing field was leveled, Ted would be eating a lot of tags.
