40# for hunting?

[gobblegrunter]

Sorry to be posting a response so late. I hadn't realized the thread got bumped up again! It was really great to see all of the positive feedback from you all, and I'm very pleased that I went with the 40# bow after reading your posts. I'm also sure that it will increase my enjoyment and longevity in shooting, which is very important because my 5yr old son and I are getting started together (he'll be getting a longbow for Christmas)and will hopefully be shooting together for many years to come. To answer some of your questions, the bow that is ordered is a 68" R/D, 3 piece longbow made by Tim Duvall of Dry Ridge Archery. I'm certain from some referrals/ guys with his bows, and in talking to Tim (great guy to deal with BTW) that it will be a great-performing bow, so I'm sure it'll be just fine. The bow will infact be 40# @ 30in (which is my draw). Thanks again for all of the input, its definitely appreciated. I'll post pics of the bow and of some of my progress as I go. I wish you all the best of luck this season!
