I shoot a 30# at 28" bow for target using arrows that match my bow, and was
able to hit the target at 70 yrds. Now the "target" was a combat sized
silhouette but I was hitting it. I can "see" the target when shooting 60 cm
5 color target face that is used for the IKAC. So you do not have to have
mutiple bows to shoot combat and target it is just more fun to have mutiple
bows to shoot.
