Here's why:
* Pounds, not "ponds": Bow strength is measured in "pounds of draw weight". This refers to the amount of force required to draw the bowstring back to full draw.
* 30 pounds is too low: A 30-pound bow is generally considered too weak for hunting deer. Most ethical and effective deer hunting bows have a draw weight of 40-70 pounds, depending on the individual archer's strength and the specific hunting conditions.
* Ethics and safety: A bow with insufficient draw weight might not provide enough force to kill a deer humanely. It could also lead to a wounded animal, which is unethical and unsafe.
Always remember:
* Use the proper equipment for safe and ethical hunting.
* Consult with experienced hunters and archery professionals for guidance.
* Follow all local hunting regulations.
If you're new to archery, I encourage you to start with a lower draw weight bow for practice and build up your strength before considering deer hunting.
