Default RE: heavy spined arrows

ORIGINAL: FSUBIGMAC

DUDE a 750 gr arrow? Holy SH**. I think the African locals already developed something similar for taking down big game -- its called a spear . Would like to see some speeds of a 70/30 82nd, Monster, or Xforce shooting one of these 700gr. javelin's.
Ive seen it lol! and so has TFOX... At the shop, we have an Xforce GX treestand model. @80#'s it shot a 470gr. arrow at 317fps[&:]@29" of draw. At 70#'s it was still in the high 280-290 range but i forget exactly what it was?

That equals roughly 105#'s of KE[:-]

The same bow/arrow setup with weight tubes in teh arrow shot a 720gr. arrow @ 240ish fps.

Sorry my #'s arent exactly right, but its been a while, and TFOX can vouch for me on this one cuz he saw it!

I took the bow hunting the next day after we figured out all of the speeds/ke etc. Needless to say, i was equipped with 2 3/4" trophy ridge turkey tomahawk bh's. I wish i would have gotten to shoot something lol! It would have been ridiculous!
