Low poundage selfbows?

<< < (2/3) > >>

crooketarrow:
 YES if you keep it to 17 yards, no problem.

coaster500:
Just curious, 17 yards?

Is that your practice distance?

TRACY:
Sharp broad heads! Had plenty pass throughs with mid 40's for poundage. Good luck!

One thing not mentioned is 42# at what draw length? 42# at a 23- 24" draw length is on the weak side, 42# at a 29" draw length will shoot through just about any deer. Every inch of draw length you add over 28" is like adding 5# of draw weight to an arrows performance. There is an equal deduction for shorter draw lengths.

I have partially disabled friend who shoots a 32# bow but draws it to 30-31".  With this long power stroke he gets 168fps with a 400gr arrow out of his low poundage bow.

This is an old thread that has been revived.  Adding to this, what about low poundage bows with stone points?  Or is there any different??  I had my 1st selfbow kill with an Osage bow that was around 42lbs.  Was wondering how it would handle stone.  Hope someone can help me out here.
