I am debating whether or not to use my 4-blade 100 grain muzzys for elk hunting next fall. I shoot a Bowtech Patriot at 70 lbs, with 27.75&quot; 5575 gold tip arrows with 4-inch vanes using a 29&quot; draw...

All else being equal, shooting a 140 grain heavier arrow out of your bow will yield about an extra 21% in penetration (more than 21% downrange) due to the greater momentum of the heavier arrow. I don't know if you want to make this trade of better penetration for a worse trajectory or not, but it is a thought. For the hits which CG had, it obviously was not needed.
