If these minis are over 40# could they be used for hunting or is there just not enough draw length to build grunt?

  At 12" draw they would not store enough energy for hunting but with light enough arrows could get some good cast.

Sorry, am a bit confused, I know crossbows have a huge amount more poundage but they operate off a short draw?

 A 100# crossbow has less power than a 50# longbow.

@ bubby and Chris......
What is the radius of the bends???
Remember....We do have to be accurate with these things....but its fun isn't it.. ;D ;)
I'm zeroing in on some arrows......it's going to take me until Marshall to learn to shoot these mini bows.
Chris, I'm glad you got this post started early... :)
