Just curious if anybody has any experience/opinions on higher poundage bows. I have a couple things on my bucket list that may require such along with some heavy arrows and beastly broadheads...... Thanks in advance for any advice.

Tom Miranda used a 100lb Mathews to take an elephant.

Mathews makes a Monster Safari edition or something along those lines. I know you can get 80lb limbs on Bowtechs and Hoyts straight from the factory.

I would highly recommend looking at the arrows and broadheads that Grizzly Stik has to offer for large/dangerous game. http://www.grizzlystik.com

They probably also have some good advice on heavy draw weight compound bows that can handle those shafts. I have a buddy that shoots them out a 70lb bow with devastating results on whitetail.

Now I'm curious just what's on your bucket list haha

Those grizzly sticks are the real deal. Seen a Cape Buff go down with a 950gr setup from them with a 70lb bow

T-Rex, haha. Mainly Cape Buffalo

My PSE came from the factory with 75 pound limbs. If I can't take it down with that it may not be meant to be.

I had a Darton Viper that drew 83 pounds back in the day. I thought that was normal.

I cant budge a 70# bow string. you guys are strong!!

I think that It was normal

I still can. But after what I spent on shoulder reconstruction I choose not to. I can easily draw a 60lb recurve. I'll shoot 50. Enough is as good as a feast.

Anything from 80 and upwards I would recommend Bowtech. My last bow that I bought was an Elite Envy in 90# had plenty issues with limb's on it, so much so that Elite replaced the 90# for a 80# Synergy.

I have friend who shoot Bowtech 100# and never had any issues at all.

I may not share my advice becoz I dont have any experience about this

I've shoot the safari with 90# limbs. Smooth bow for what it is.

You have accidental dry fire with 80# limbs it will be obvious and know you have some damage to bow! I'm a wuss and 58-60 is all I want to pull back. There was guy working at bow shop here(when we had one) that had Bowtech with 80#limbs and he was slinging 900 plus weight arrows. He had alot of issues with limbs coming apart till the sent him complete new bow, think problem went away.

I just had a new 80 pound bow set up built for my bucket list which happens to be a Cape buffalo hunt I am going on in May. I went to the DSC show talked with a lot of guys and there is a couple different directions you can go on this. You don't need an 80 lb bow. I know a couple one guy that used 67 and another that used 70. 80 is better and recommended but some people can't pull it.
You need to have the right set up I talked with a bunch of guys personally that have done this hunt. Couple things you need to make sure you have the right arrow broadhead combo. Mine ended up being 175 gr. Fixed 2 blade single bevel head by Strickland archery, Easton fmj dangerous game arrows, 75gr copper insert, stainless steal arrow sleave, 4 inch veins fletched accordingly. I ended up being 804 gr set up out of an 80lb bow. I only shoot 224 ft per sec, but have like 98 lb of kinetic energy. The grizzly sticks are nice and I wanted them but they didn't perform that well in my set up. I can shoot accurately to 50 yds with my bow and that is far enough for me.
If you have any questions pleas le let me know. I am no expert but have done a lot of research and am more that happy to help. Thanks
