Is my bow good enough for moose hunting?

[nuval.J2711]

As many may know, I shoot a Bear Attitude 60# 27inch draw slinging a 425 grain arrow, not sure of the speed though. The legal limit for moose in Ontario is 54# and I have been worried that my bow, being barely over the limit, will not have the energy output required to go through the shoulders if needed. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Have fun. Shoot straight

Have fun. Shoot atraight

Does that mean it will work

I live in Alaska and know a few hunters shooting around the same for moose without a worry. Put it in the right place with a good broadhead and you'll be eating moose soon enough.

Yes

No matter what bow you shoot shoot you need to stay away from a moose shoulder bone!

Just get close enough and use a knife.

Bit light for my tastes and yes I have taken moose with bow and arrow. I suggest turning it up to 65lbs if you can and use only fixed blade broadheads. I like thunderheads. and as others said

Just remember to step out of the way. Never stick an arrow in when they are facing directly at you.
Great way to become a pin cushion or a spot on the ground.

We started going to a friend's cabin in Quebec a few years back. No lottery and we can just get to know one area. Hopefully he will get his shot this year...although not if I see the bull first yep, I suck as a father

Your set will work, shoot straight, shoot true have sharp broad heads. I have only got a few with my bow, they did not go over 20 yards. The cool part is when you hold on a moose is all your pins are in the kill, 35 yards is the longest I have shot a moose at. Have fun
