I looked and there was nothing saying you could but nothing saying you couldn't. Just wondering what you guys think. Another question besides my own skill is there anything wrong with a full strength bow like the one below for big game hunting?

There’s nothing wrong with it but...of the people I’ve seen shooting them not one has been even remotely accurate enough to hit anything with certainty. I’d get a lower poundage recurve if I was interested in hunting.
Something else to think about most people should be able to draw 50 lbs.
take that bow and shoot it a few times a night and you’ll work into it faster than you realize.
