Anybody hunt with a Mathews Genisis Bow? My son has been shooting one and would like me to take him out with it. I am not sure if it has enough kick to kill though.

you will have to check your game laws for where you live. I think here in PA it is like 45lbs. min. draw weight for deer hunting with most people shooting between like 55 - 75
