First things first.Find out why your hitting high.You either have a loud bow and the deer are ducking to run(this will decrease penetration as well,muscle contracting)Or you are not bending at the waist when shooting from an elevated position resulting in high hits.Or you just aren't sighted in correctly for the closer shots.


Now,how is the tune?Do your arrows fly straight without any kick due to contact or torque issues.Do broadheads hit the same as fieldpoints?


I know you said the last deer went through the bone but I am willing to bet a Magnus Stinger in either 2 or 4 blade(2 blade with 2 SMALL bleeders) would have been stuck in the ground after that shot from a well tuned setup.

Heavier arrows are fine but they are not a fix all cure all.What's up front makes more of a factor than anything behind it.

My son is getting passthroughs with a 4 blade Magnus Stinger from a 40# bow at only 23" draw(24" this year)His arrows are aluminum BUT they are a thick walled(.016) and only weigh 340 grains so it isn't the weight.It is what's up front and good F.O.C.
