Oh come on guys, I am sure you have seen the 5 gallon bucket of sand test. Take your decently fast (say over 280 fps bow) and shoot thru a bucket of sand with field tips. Now take your 06 or win mag and do it. Now try it with water. Seen it done at the outdoor shows. Go to the tech page on bow and ask them. Or sacrifice the arrow and try it. You got to think, that is almost 800grains of projectile flying at 280fps. Thats alot of energy out of the shute. goes down quick and fast however.
