    Default Good draw weight for gators

    What is a good draw weight to use for gators. My bow is set at 50lbs, and I want to make sure it will go through the gator.

    as much as you can stand, we have an old renegade set at 75lbs.

    I've got my bow set up at 70lb draw weight, and just got my muzzy gator getter kit put on and set up. I should be ready if one of my friends or i get drawn.

    Real Swamp people use .22 calibers and hooks n shit.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    14/0 Hook, 1050 mainline and 1-2 day old bream work well, but they don't like you to do that on public waters.
