A bow and arrow has killed every animal that walks this planet. Except a yeti, and as soon as a bow hunter can find one, it will be dead.
From squirrels to elephants.
Check out the Pope and Young web site. See the records for yourself.
I just got done shooting a archery league, and saw some really good shooting.
3D will start soon and some really good guys will take to the woods to kill foam deer all over America.
A new compound will reach speeds of 350 fps with a 350 grain arrow. At 70lbs of pull.
There are a few crossbows that will reach 400 fps.
My Bow-Tec at 53 pounds of pull, will get a 365 grain arrow going right around 285fps. It has a let off of around 70%. I can turn it up to 70lbs if I want to.
Not bad for a stick and a string.
They are no 30-06 but will do the job just as good.
