52@27 too light for moose?

[Tony Phillips]

No and nobody else can either.  But I would be more accurate with a bow that I'm comfortable with, instead of a bow that I would probably  short draw and end up with less poundage anyway.

EXACTLY.  Not all bow are adequate for all game, its that simple.

bbassi, I've taken two moose with 54# @ 27" Cari-bow Taiga Recurve using 670 gr arrows.

1st moose over 1200 lbs live weight. 1st shot buried right to the fletching at 32 yards. Was able to walk into 8 yards on the bedded moose and put a second arrow clean thru.

2nd Moose mature cow, 18 yard shot, full pass-thru, 25 yard recovery.

I do have a #60 Shakespere, but for a once in a lifetime chance it doesn't seem right to take that one. It's kinda like taking an ugly girl to the prom. You don't get do overs. Know what I mean? LOL

Now you're talking. This sound EXACTLY like the right conditions to justify a new bow...
