A 70lb dually is one of the last bows I would ever bring into the woods hunting.

Not a good hunting bow IMO.

Take the VFT - much better

Rack, would you like to expound upon that? Why isn't a good hunting bow?

It has to be one of the hardest drawing 70lb bows ever made - they have to get all that speed from something.

And if you do manage to get it back - Any laps in back tension will rip your arm out.

Sorry - but I could not imagine holding back a 70lb Dually on a buck and having to shift or move a bit in a stand. A disaster in my mind just waiting to happen.

Speed is not that important to me to give up as much as you do IMO with that dually.

Sooo many other bows that will do the same thing without busting a nut

It shoots great - solid 3d bow if its your thing

Rack-attack.. I really don't think that I'd hunt w/ mine at 70# either... but the great thing is that I can adjust it down to 60# for hunting season. After sitting on a cold stand all day.. I don't know if I could get it back set on 70#. It is a very stiff drawing bow at 70#.

Thanks Rack, was wondering as I hunt with the BK II at 70#. I don't have any trouble with the draw, it is manageable for me. I have hunted in sub zero temps and don't have any trouble at all pulling it back. I guess a lot of it has to do with your size and strength.
