[QUOTE="Buano, post: 2012075, member: 21641"] First: The arrow shaft must be matched to the weight of your arrrow-head and the draw-weight of your bow. Every arrow manufacturer has a chart where you can see what shafts are appropriate for the weight of your bow and arrowheads. Be sure to practice with arrowheads of the same weight as what you will be hunting with. Mountain lions are cowards. It is extremely rare for these cats to approach the face of an animal — which includes people. Once treed, any hunting bow 45 pounds and up is enough IF the archer is accurate. Black bears do not require any more of an archery system than do deer. It's important to be able to hit the heart-lung area, after which the bear will likely run off until it bleeds out. Don't even consider hunting grizzlies with a bow unless you have someone ready with a gun in case the bear decides he wants to kill you before he dies. Buffalo are BIG but they tend to go down easy if you hit the vitals. Archery takes longer to master than a firearm does. It's your call but I would recommend any new archer use this year to PRACTICE at least 30 minutes per day and become proficient, then plan hunts for next year. I wish you the best! [/QUOTE]
