would my bow still be affective if a burgular came in my house, if my arrows had broadheads on it? 12.5 fpe should be enogh to seroiusly wound someboday or even cause death if they can't stop the bleeding or get the arrow out. and by then i would set aniother arrow on the string and pound aniother arrow into the bad dude, and another until he is down. im very prtective of my family and we do not own any other weapon to protect our family, and when my dad is gone on duty im the only man in the house.
