After experimenting with Bowtech, PSE, and many others, we went with the bow that just felt right and that our daughter shot the best. So we upgraded our daughter from a PSE Nighthawk recurve to a Bowtech Intrigue Blackout compound bow, 32″ length, where she is currently drawing 25.5″ at 28 lbs as a 12 year old and is now over 45 lbs draw weight at 14 years old, so it is perfect for anything from small game to big game, as well as 3D target shooting. We like the pink Shooting Carbon Express Mayhem Hot Pursuit 150 Hunting Arrows – Built-in Weight Forward ™ technology for down range accuracy with broadhead. For target we are shooting the 150 Mayhem arrows with 100 grain points. Getting ready for spring turkey and deer archery season next fall. Jimmy recommended that she use 100 grain Muzzy broadheads, but he is trying a new Montec G5, as he can’t find the Muzzy and he strongly recommends against the expandable broadheads for white-tailed deer. We got both to experiment with, together with some grass tumble points for bunnies and prairie dogs.
Working on 40 yard shots for whitetails, which is about the maximum effective range, though some cowboys will try to sell you on 60 yards.
