jamaldog87,
Could you possibly post a link to the type of, or a picture of the bow you happen to have, so we can see exactly what you have ??
I'm by no means the best one to be providing an opinion on bows/arrows, but at the moment at least, I'm sort of thinking you may have difficultly penetrating the thick skin of certain varmints with just target pointed arrows, thou they might be fine for others and good for small game like Rabbit or Squirrel.
Can any of you other folks, possibly provide a little help or opinions here ??
thanks !!

More info is needed for some good advice. A youth bow will be fine if you have enough poundage. For rabbits and tree rats, 25# will be good. I wouldn't advise feild tips though. If you have more poundage you could use blunts. But at the lower weights I'd look for some small cheap broadheads. Give us some more info and we can help you better.

I could not find any info on it no matter were i looked.
this is the best i could find online of my bow
It seem to have a 25-30pound draw and has kill many 1gal very hard High C jugs so there is power.
I want to use it for FL varmints like coyotes,raccoon , Striped Skunk,Beaver,Armadillo, Capybara and Coypu and Gambian pouched rat (i have hear there in my state).

Well lets see. For starters I wouldn't want to be close enough to a skunk when I shoot it with a bow. Although with a bow is the only time I killed a skunk and it didn't spray. I'll never take that chance again. Spose it will work for coyote with a well placed shot, but I would prefer a heavier poundage. I don't think it would work for an armadillo. As far as the others, What state do you live in that has those critters? I never even heard of a couple of them. With that bow I would stick with rabbits and rodents.
