A friend of mine just purchased an older longbow, it's 35 pound draw weight, what game could he take down with it?

Just answered my own question as I see the regs. require at least 40 pounds within archer's draw length. Does that include all game or just big game?

IF he practices regularily with it by spring he should definately of built up the muscles required to draw more weight. Then if he wants to bowhunt he could find a bow with heavier draw weight.

If his draw lenght is 30 inches it will be 40 lbs
