I have no idea, lol. The vast majority of bows that I have owned have taken game. I remember killiing hogs with 6 different bows on 6 consecutive weekends. My feeble brain doesn't want to try to figure this out.

Wudstix · March 13, 2024, 11:24:23 PM

May have taken a couple hogs with my Big River D/R longbow 21st Century clone, as well. Sometimes it's hard to remember what stick I was carrying, when. (6)
