KINETIC ENERGY HUNTING USAGE 25 ft. lbs. Small Game 25-41 ft. lbs. Medium Game (Deer, Antelope) 42-65 ft. lbs. Large Game (Elk, Black Bear, Boar) 65 ft. lbs. Big Game (Cape Buffalo, Grizzly recently came upon a series of figures distributed by the North American Bowhunting Coalition comparing the trajectory and kinetic energy of modern crossbows and modern compound bows. At first glance, the differences appear rather significant. The trajectory of crossbows and compound bows was similar out to about 25 yards, and then they diverged dramatically. The crossbow bolt was only about four inches low at 50 yards while the compound’s arrow had dropped to 40 inches. At 70 yards, the crossbow bolt was 20 inches low, compared to 120 inches for the compound arrow. And at 100 yards, the crossbow bolt had dropped only 60 inches compared to 240 inches for the compound arrow. The differences in kinetic energy were even more dramatic. The crossbow started at 190 foot-pounds, compared to 70 for the compound. At 100 yards, the crossbow bolt was still carrying 140 foot-pounds of energy, while the compound arrow was down to a mere 40 foot-pounds — an astounding difference.

before season starts don't just shoot in a target at 20 and 30 yards chances are deer wont stop at 20 yards bring a deer target with you in the woods place it all different places you can practice shooting from t your stand it will help you in the long run be a better archer and a more humane harvest you owe it to the animal you are hunting

awsom im soooo jelous

used to live in Hawkesbury Ontario bout 55 miles from montreal my school was in lachute quebec

yup sheephead for sure got many of those in Ottawa river

congrats you will enjoy I am sure

to me catching something is always a plus no matter the size better than giving your lure a bath

DOWN THE HATCHES REEL LAST CALL

27 inch striper was hungry

The arrow / broadhead weight factors heavily into the kinetic energy equation. Don’t downsize too much for the sake of speed.in ny the minimum weight is 35 pounds remember the fun of bow hunting is how close u can get to the animal closer u are better the shot I have been a bow instructor for 11 yrs I shoot Mathews but remember this use whatever feels right in the young hunter hands what he likes not the name brand ,, few good broadheads for beginners 75 gr muzzy 85 grain Magnus Stingers Wasp bullet 75 grain the best thing u can do for the kid practice practice practice but don't forget he starts getting tired he wont shot as good then get him wanting to quit make it fun get targets with pictures zombies animals polititions lol kidding no polititions oh ya on a last note if he has to lift the bow to the sky to draw it its cranked up to high don't forget the ballouns

sold to lake Ontario member Zack very nice people to do business with good luck out there
