My wife had one and it worked well for her to learn on and was plenty lethal, she shot it at 27" draw around 45#. A friend of mine now has it and he has it set up at 28" and 65#. Great bow for the money and can stay with them as long as they like. Easy to re-sell too. "The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. - Finn Aagard
