I will compare a .223 to a broadhead. The .223 will outperform that broadhead everyday of the week! Bold statement? Yes! Ignorant staement? Maybe,
To compare any bullet to a broadhead, shows very little knowledge of either!
As Frizz has said, it's apples to oranges!
As to a .223, 60 gr. bullet distroying everything in it's path, yeah, it will do good damage until it hits major bone!
If you shoot a deer where it really should be shot, (not the neck or head) and you don't drop him on the spot with the .22's, I'd much rather the tracking job of a arrow shot deer!
I have enough knowledge on both subjects. If you read my previous post again, you will see I was talking about precise shot placement to the heart at extended range. Somthing you could never do with a bow. As for your theory on hitting bone, a Nosler Partition or Barnes X will snap through them like twigs, provided you keep you shot out of the shoulder.
(Again, a shot you would never take with your bow, Is there a pattern emerging here? I guess the apple falls a bit closer to the orange grove, huh?)
