No known Texas state minimum poundage. I hate to ask but feel compelled...I hate working on minimums (slacker territory) but necessary this go round.
Reason: I am coming off of torn bicep surgery, progressing rapidly with recovery, and looking to forthcoming WT season. I thought it’d be best to work back into shooting a lighter poundage bow versus my 49@28 & 58@28 longbows and 54@28 recurve.
Ive searched the past threads and to state the (seemingly) obvious...PROPER SHOT PLACEMENT...and well tuned High FOC arrow with razor sharp 2 blade with 3:1 broadhead (length vs width) ratio loosed at short yardage range would increase harvest potential.
Particularly...is 35#@28 longbow too little poundage? I think with my 31-32” draw length Ill get to 40# easily. I think Id aim to build arrows around 450-500gr and 20-25% FOC or more.
It seems plenty of trad killers kill in the low 40s...but I always appreciate yalls fresh guidance.
God bless! Have a great day.
