The 400 axis arrow at 400 grians, 85 grian thunderhead, blazer vanes blow through her so fast she didn't know she was hit. The arrow stuck in the ground about 6 to 7 inchs at 25 yards and she only went about 50 yards this morning.
I can get those results with a 40 lb recurve. Anecdotal evidence is proof of nothing. What I want to know is what happens when things don't go as planned and you hit one square in the main shoulder bone? If we were to look at 20 shots from your setup, that hit a major bone, how many would break the bone and penetrate to the vitals, or just create a superficial wound? Oh, and just in case - the only hunters who don't occassionally have an off-hit, are hunters who haven't shot at a large number of animals, or who have selective memory.
Thats one of the reasons I said I will never look back at the way it was before. I owe it to the deer and my sport to make fast clean kills.
I owe it to myself to use a setup that gives me the best chance of taking home dinner. I'm convinced on what that should be and it isn't what you're shooting. Looks like one of us owes something more than what we're giving.
