I agree that a total elimination of the minimum weight is not the answer. I'm sure with all the LSBA members help we could do some testing of youth bows and present that info to TPWD. Having said that my oldest boy made two bad shots on back to back weekends and harvested his first bow harvest of a doe and his first buck. The doe ducked and caught the arrow in the neck. It passed through 3 inches of her neck on the side but the SHARP broadhead caught the artery and she was down in 100yds. The buck he hit back in the hindquarters and 100 yds later he was piled up...I'm sure due to the SHARP broadhead. The poundage wasn't really a factor with the exception to the arrow speed.
