I am a Vermont whitetail hunter, typically looking at 15-30 yard shots in heavy wooded forest. I shoot a Prime Ion with 60-70lb limbs, maxed out. I am a fit 39 year-old hockey player, distance runner and mechanic. I shoot a couple times per week and have worked my way up to that draw weight. The 70lb setting now feels almost... I won’t say effortless, but I hardly notice it. The few chances I had to come to full draw during a long sit this season (before tagging out by bagging a nice 10-pointer ) felt the same- required effort, but not prohibitive.
So, I’m considering ponying up for a set of 70-80lb limbs. Cost is probably $200, or maybe $100 if I can find a used set. I’d love to have extra energy to spend on heavier arrows while keeping the forgiveness of a flat trajectory, all things being equal.
Anyone else go this route? On one hand it sounds a little ridiculous. I’m not taking 70-yard shots at elk. On the other hand, let’s get these 550 grain suckers movin’, shall we?
let me know your thoughts. Thanks, everybody.
