Take a look at the difference in Balistics between a 45-70 and a 30-378.
At 50 yrds they will both blast through a deer, at 150 yards the 45-70 starts to drop much more than the 30-378. At 400yards the 30-378 is still considered to be @ point blank range while the 45-70 is in the dirt.
The same holds true for a Bow and Arrow, but at less distances.

Plus the deer don't jump the arrow as quick. I shoot 300fps and
My bow is whisper quiet! with all the new silencers on it.
I use to shoot the heavy arrows until the second deer "Jumped the
string" I wounded him. From that point on I've been shooting as fast
and as quiet as I can. I have yet to miss!! over 8-years and I have gotten a buck or two evey year. I love these fast arrows.

Your critisizm is welcome!
