My 40 years of bowhunting would confirm this. I would hae to say to the OP that even with the FMJ arrows, if you are constantly trying to blow through shoulder of scapula then you are aiming too close to the bones.

I have regularly gotten complete pass throughs with a 315 gr arrow doing a paltry 237fps and still had 6" of arrow in the ground. Do the math and it comes up to 39ft/lbs of energy. Deer have gone as little as 30 yards and as far as 90 yards.

The trick is too read the tag on the inside of my top limb which says, "Stay Away From the Bone" and shoot 4" to 5" behind the shoulder.
