Understood Brandan--I just have to figure out where the happy medium is. I know that more mass is better, but only to a point--you have to get that bugger moving for it to do the job!

As for broadheads, the few people that I have found so far that have experience with these critters used narrow ones--Grizzly heads have been the choice so far. Wider ones have too much drag, or that is the theory at least. From what I have seen so far, a large hole is not a priority, getting to the vitals is. Some have talked about taking a 190 grain and narrowing it down and making it a 160 grain. Small diameter shafting has also been named as being very important for better penetration. I do know a lady who shot a very large Gemsbok with a light bow using Grizzly heads and got complete penetration with the head.

Maybe I am jumping the gun--I don' t even have the bow yet--but I' m gonna' do my best to get it all together well ahead of time.
