hoops27's Question:
I was wondering what poundage of a compound bow will penetrate a Vermont deer.


dumdum's Answer

In my state of Louisiana, the minimum draw weight of 30 lbs is legal. Deer have been killed with this amount of draw weight, with a well placed shot-just behind the front shoulder,in the heart-lung area.With a low poundage bow, you will need to shoot a sharp two blade broad head like the magnus stinger, and choose your shot well. Good luck!
