samak sage recurve, question about hunting

[mrcrossbow]

due to some problems i had to sell my predator recurve my go to hunting bow and im left with my sage, dont get me wrong for a cheap bow the thing has taken a beating and still lets a arrow fly true, it is my go to bow for rabbits and other cute tasty small game,
So my Question is if i bought the 60 lb limbs for it ( useing 50lb for small game atm ) with my 31 1/2 inch pull will it have the power for say black bear, elk, moose etc, i can afford the cost of new limbs sadly not a new bow,

really just want know if it will work for that size game,
also due my eyes i dont shoot at nothing more then 30 yrds so i dont need the power to try reach out and touch stuff at like 50 yrds, most my shots are in the 20 yrd zone.

so in closing , will the sage at 60 lbs shooting at 30 yrds or less have power to take larger game,

Yes.
I use 55 pound limbs on the same bow.
Hasnt gotten in the way of taking any game.

I don't use a recurve and am by no means an expert, but I would think the 50# limbs are plenty sufficient. I'd say save the cash

I think your arrows will bounce off of squirrels. Just joking lol. That's more than enough. Just curious what you shooting for arrow weight?

[brohymn2]

Just reread your post and saw the animals listed. Pete ward had a photo on here of a moose taken with a 40 lbs recurve. As long as your shooting a sharp broadheads at that draw weight/length and you put it in the right spot you shouldn't have a problem

[mrcrossbow]

arrrow weight is 540 gpi total 2317 alum shafts with a 300 gr point

[brohymn2]

Should be good

The 50# you have are fine for all Alberta Big Game. Both my long Bows are only 50# and they work great.
