i was referring to compound vs like a traditional barebow like longbow

warbow

whatever

I currently ahve a 60lbs recurve takedown bow, I have ordered a 70lbs bow for christmas, going to take it hunting when I visit America next year

Can probably overdo it to 80 though 🤔

My grandfather won a $1000 voucher for a nearby archery store and we just went in and bought a bow, quiver, all the extra shit, and a carrying case

either way, if you want something more than, say, 65lb, you will either be having it custom-made or making it yourself

true or false, a deer shot through the heart will run for a while.

@hiddendjinn go to an archery store

the end goal dude is a 120lb bow tbh

@A Big Gay Baby depends

like 10-15 sec

What's "a while"

^

and with the english longbow, the typical draw weight was around 100lb

Higher than that tbh

If you shoot it in the right spot it'll die immediately

@hiddendjinn more like 120

that's what i htought

60lbs is enough to kill deer, 70 is enough to kill moose and elk

Max 150

@Tubby the Skelly Bones ok...

some old fuck at the bar was telling me they will still run after a heart shot

Those things were fucking ridiculous

@A Big Gay Baby depends how you hit it

Only a few second big gay

compounds are more powerful for the same draw weight

i think

with a broadhead

If you hit the heart or the lungs they go down fairly quickly

An arrow in the heart will likely still see it running, no exit wound.

@Tubby the Skelly Bones still something you won't easily get your hands on at an archery shop\

but can still make a last minute dash, but they don't go very far, you are talking meters if that

for how long- varies

@hiddendjinn definitely not, but you can get something usually up to 90-100 lbs

yeah he was saying you needed to track it and I was telling him he fucking missed

The thing is though once you hit you are committed to the hunt tbh <:shrug:349342983763656705>

so you better find it <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

lots of creatures can survive hits from bows

not to the heart
