MM, would you hunt with the 45# limbs?
They would be legal in MT. We have a 40# minimum requirement.
When I chrono'd the 45# limbs in the 17" Samick Discovery, I reached 189 fps with a 576gr arrow. The longer 21" Satori will most likely lose some speed with the same limbs (haven't chrono'd it yet).
I would imagine, the Satori with the 45# limbs will still get well over 175 fps with the same 576gr arrow. Mechanically, I would call that enough weight/speed to kill effectively.
Keep in mind my draw length is 32". Also keep in mind I haven't killed anything with a bow since I was a boy killing a few very unlucky ground squirrels back in the 1970s. A GS with a target arrow through him doesn't die well, but he can't get dow his hole either.....so one can use his boot heel for the finisher.....grin
