Dumb Bowhunting Question from Rookie?

Question

I am going to purchase the Bear Element bow this week. It tops out at 300 fps, and I'm getting the 60# drawback. This may be a stupid question, but will this bow be powerful enough to kill deer and boar?
Thank you

Answer 1

This bow is adequate for hunting anything on the North American Continent. However, I would be extremely cautious of hunting griz with it or anything else.

Answer 2

This guy killed a small boar with a 312 fps bow (the test said 306) and a 71 lbs string with the first attempt at 40 yards.

So, yes it will kill a boar at least the size he was hunting (he killed it when it was 25 yards away).

This deer bow has less feet per second, so I imagine your bow is powerful enough.

Don't forget to look for the right shaft and tip too.

Answer 3

My bow is set at 47 pounds and all but one shot was a complete pass through, so i would say that 60 pounds is more than adequate for deer and boar.Just be sure your comfortable at that draw weight, adjust up or down until your comfortable and consistent.

Answer 4

Today’s modern bow is by far stronger and faster then the common bow used by the native American to take all Bear species, Mouse, Elk and Deer.
I would say all day every day.
If you hit the kill zone he’s dead.

Answer 5

you'll be able to make a dumb sentance out of those. a guy named Turner had quite a few Cousins and asked quite a few Favors like getting some water. The cousin then bumped right into a Wall collectively as giving the glass.

Answer 6

I think so. I asked about Boar hunting and some people posted that they had killed boar with bows.

Answer 7

my dad killed a deer with a 20lb. bow the letoff has no affect on power

Answer 8

Yup, it'll do it, with a good shot of course.

Answer 9
