Personally I think this is a great idea!

You wouldn't have to spend all that money to go on safari to Africa to hunt the big stuff! Now if they would just talk of bringing in some Cape Buffalo I'd be all set!

And if they think that stone age man with his "sophisticated stone tools" caused a problem, think what we could do with modern firearms and archery equipment! Hmmm what draw weight would you want for sticking a mastodon?

There are already enough buffalo around where I live. In fact there is a buffalo ranch just 2 miles from here. Plenty of deer, moose, and elk too. I'd say 80-90 lbs would do the trick. That takes down a moose.

what's the draw weight of a horsebow? i think that would be about what the native americans would have used on them. that or a hand thrown spear.
