As some of you know I finally after 20 years got a new bow, MAN talk about an increase in penetration/power! I practiced for the first time tuesday(in the rain)and what I had been using as a backstop is now useless except for holding the targets. With my old bow I could shoot this at 10 yards and not go through the haybale, now even at 20 yards it still blows through the target like it wasn't even there. How thick of a peice of dense styrofoam will I need to stop them from blowing through, I already have lost a fletching off of 2 arrows due to this?

When I was at the pro shop buying my bow there was a guy who has bow hunted for over 20 years and he swears that a brisket shot is deadly as long as the deers head is up and you hit him right at the base of his neck or a bit higher. What do you all think of this? I have let more than one walk this year because this would have been the only possible shot.
