probably not, right? It's only 16# @ 21".

Ha! Now that's funny! And, a nice looking bow!

For Key Deer Only!

I like that Mike ! Need one of those for my grandkids.

16# is all I ever hunt with:)

fredard hillbear killed 3 elephants with one like that. just need 30% foc single bevel broadheads over 650gr and watch shot placement. :) hehe

Drawn to 28" and putting an arrow into the lungs? Probably!

No doubt will get a pass through every time. :>) Some youngster is going to be very happy.

From: RymanCat

Absolutely enough if you can kill a deer with a sharp pencil in lungs.

Might be hard convincing the game dept. lads though.

That's a swift little stick. very nice.

If you shoot a 900 grain arrow.

Someone will say yes, and be serious. SMH.

There are states with no minimum draw weight.....so legally it may be enough....

From: Dkincaid

At my draw if it didn’t blow up it would :)

From: oldgoat

I was gonna say 800gr arrow, but Eric topped me before I even posted! But I bet if you were close enough and shot a hard quartering away shot behind the last rib that it might do the job better than you think! Then there's always the poison arrow trick, natives in South America use blow guns and darts to kill their food all the time!

I figured I'd bring some humor to the age old question.

From: dean

No animal would have safe if i would had one of those instead of that lilac branch for a bow. I don't know about 16@21", but i have seen a couple of fawns taken with very light bows. Although, there is quite a lot of difference between a 16 pound at 21" and a 30 pound bow at 24".

Koohool. Keep in the quiver in case of emergency. Like last shot. Nice. JF

It will kill as many foam Deer as you want to shoot at.

That is really cool Mike! I probably need to order one for my soon to be arriving grandson.

Depends on the size of the deer.

From: yooper-travler

Ha Ha! I terrorized ground squirrels and chipmunks in my Grandfather's garden with something similar! Brought a smile to my face.

From: RonG

Maybe if you attached some leaves and grass to it the deer might choke on it......Ha!Ha!

From: Car54 Compton's Traditional Bowhunters

That's a cutie. LOL

From: Tucker

It’s possible that it could be 37#@28” with a smooth draw-force curve assuming about 3# per additional inch of draw. If it stacks bad it could be even more. So what started out as a joke by the original poster, may indeed be a lethal deer killing tool! Think about it...

I have two of Mikes kids longbows for my grand kids. They shoot them great, and love doing it as well!!!

From: Babysaph

Well that bow is heavier than what I will be hunting with,this year after shoulder surgery at my draw

Here batman, the ntn length is about 36" this one the riser is ash and zebrawood, blackglass and hard maple limbs, it is 17# @ 21".

That little bow could kill a deer for sure. Just put feathers on one limb and shoot the whole thing at it from another #50 bow.

Beautiful bow! Nice workmanship Mike!
