I voted, but 1 question, is 50# enough for moose?

[NYRON]

My original cutoff for this project was 55#, as on the face of things anything less seems subpar.

But, as you noticed, I allowed 3 bows less than 55# into the mix.

Here's my rational.

Weight isn't everything. One must consider bow design, as well.

For example, I'm pretty certain that the 50# Howatt Hunter has better speed/cast than the 63# Bear Polar, because the two designs are so different.

Also, marked weight can be deceptive.

The BP Mach I is marked 50X#. The "X" means that it is at least 1-2 pounds above marked weight. In addition, the Mach I was noted to be a fast bow.

The Howatt Hunter is marked 50#, but I've never owned a Damon Howatt bow that wasn't at least 2 pounds heavier than its marked weight compared to other same-weight bows.

Wings were known to be efficient bows, but at a straight 50#, the Chaparral likely has the least cast of the bunch, so I guess someone could argue that it's marginal.

My first consideration is for the animal, so I would not hunt with something that I did not have faith in.

With all that said, I would not hesitate to hunt moose with a 50# bow, 500+ grain arrow, and sharp 3:1 two-blade broadhead.

The thing that concerns me most is having a bow that I shoot well to make sure my arrow is on point.

By the way, thanks for your vote. Much appreciated!

I am shooting lefty these days and have no right to win a bow from someone else, but I was leaning towards the Browning.  In my experience, they were very quick compared to others.

[Fattony77]

Very cool! Thanks for this opportunity! I'm like everybody else and don't figure on winning, but it's fun to participate. As for my vote? I can't help but think that the Bear Takedown is the right tool for the job. Good luck on your hunt, and to everyone who entered!

[johnnyk71]

you're not a lefty, are you? oh well, i'll vote anyway for fun.

[NYRON]

Thanks for your vote, Johnny.

I'm so right-handed it's not funny...my apologies to all the lefties!

Maybe we'll try to work a left-handed bow into a future drawing of some sort.

[NYRON]

With 329 votes cast, we are in a near 3-way tie.

Check it out...your    BowVote  might break the tie!

Again, thanks to all who have voted!

[Mountain State Archer]

Thanks for the awesome gesture and good luck on your hunt

[Trond]

Hope this is open for us overseas too... I jumped in with a vote, anyways...

I had A Damon Howatt Hunter 50# that looks like the same riser wood you show.  You are correct, it smoked an arrow.  I kind of wish I still had it.  You never know...
