Depends on what your hunting. Should be fine for small game, turkeys, and whitetails with a razor sharp two blade head and a heavy enough arrow.

Check your hunting regs. Here in IN minimum is 35 lbs.

40 lbs here in MA,Id like to hunt deer with it and would be using a 125 magnus with a 150 carbon express shaft.I machined some inserts out of brass instead of th aluminum that came with them.My arrow weighs @ 615 grns
