http://www.dnr.sc.gov/regs/pdf/huntingregs.pdf No restrictions on draw weight in SC.
Must be at least 30 lbs.
There technically is not a required weight, however it is recommended that to have a compound bow set to at least 30-35lbs. It all depends on the placement of the arrow in the deer or animal. If you place an arrow in the lungs or heart of a deer, shooting it with a draw weight of 35lbs, it will most likely kill the deer.
the average Draw weight for deer, turcky and hog is between 60 and 70 lb
No less than 30 pounds at or before full draw Ref: Minnesota Hunting and Trapping Regulation Handbook 2009
The lowest draw weight on a bow, that I've heard of is about 55 pounds. But I've heard of people killing deer with a little less.
It is the amount of preasure needed to pull the strig back.
15-20 yards if it is a good shot
I use a 55 pound. In Ohio it is illegal to hunt deer with less than 40 or 45 (I don't remember.)
Anywhere between 40 and 200 pounds.
It's 35 ponds. From the PA hunting regs:Archery deer season.(1) Permitted devices. It is lawful to hunt deer during the archery deer season with any of the following devices:(i) A bow and arrow. A bow must have a peak draw weight of at least 35 pounds.
Yes, a 35 lb. draw weight can kill a deer, you just need to be at a minimum range of 10-20 yards and a maximum range of 30-35 yards in order for the shot to be deadly. My gym teacher's friend he met competition shooting a long time ago once hunted every legal game animal in North America on nothing but a 35 lb. draw weight, so it is possible, Just aim carefully and be far enough away. Happy hunting to you!
