 John, I think with a sharp broadhead or stone point a 35# would work. Myself, I don't think I'd go with less than 45#. I shot my Osceola with a 60# bow, bamboo arrow and coral point at ten yards. I thought I had missed because the arrow never slowed down and landed about 40 yards after a pass thru.
