Question What To Get???

My friend from low recoil, Big Punch in rifles forum is thinking of bow hunting for deer, good muscle, but no endurance(needs a compound), bear would be nice, but cant lift 45lbs, ps canada so its gotta be 40lbs+

If I am understanding this correctly, your friend can not pull back 45 lbs, but because you live in Canada you need at least 40lbs to be able to hunt with it.

I voted for him to get a comp. because of the let off. But IMHO he needs to get a bow now practice and shoot with it and build up his draw weight for a year, so he will be able to go next year with it.

If you are able to use crossbow that would be another consideration.
