I do need to fess up. I am making an arrow that uses 100 grain tips that I will be using on groundhogs and fox.
Shame on you Bruce!
I've never rifle hunted but I doubt a serious rifle hunter would use the same bullet for every game animal and/or area he encountered. I have arrows weighing from 326 grains to 500 grains, and FOC's running from 12.5% to over 20%. I try to pick my arrow depending on what I will hunt and where it will be hunted. I use a different arrow for open country Mule Deer in Oct. than I do Whitetail Bucks in the thicket in Nov. I wouldn't have to but I enjoy experimenting with different setups.
The one thing I do know is Light? Heavy? 12% FOC? 20% FOC? They all work!!
Something I have yet to play with is my 500 grain FMJ's with over 20% FOC coming out of my Airborne 82. Now that should pack a pretty good punch.
