Compound bow for foxes

[Foxstalker999]

hey all, 

been thinking of getting this bow for foxes and rabbits on my property for when I don't have the guns out. is 30 pound enough for foxes or should I find one with 40 pounds?

The reviews on that one aren’t great…

#40 is technically enough.

I would look for something that's 50 pounds plus: your only limiting yourself to a distance and arrow weight... Speed is great for target stuff but a heavy arrow is what you want for game.

You'll need to be sized up for your bow too, your going to want to go into a store to get the ass-tons of information about compound bows.

you don't NEED to spend a lot of money but you will need to get the right draw length and have arrows cut to that size.

Its a crazy rabbit hole to fall into.
