One only needs to test his own bow with various weights of arrows through a chronograph and you'll see that you will gain about 3 to 4 ft. lbs. K.E. with the heaviest arrows. How much of this will make a difference on our deer?? not much. I think we shoot through more air,, inside a deer,, than most realize. My wife made the most beautiful (if there is such a thing) shot on her whitetail buck last year with her 55 pound and 26 inch Patriot VFT. The arrow weighed 340 grains and started out at about 254 fps. The shot was quartering away and the arrow passed through, hitting shoulder bone on the way out and bending two of the three blades on the 100 grain Muzzy. The arrow lay on the ground, pointing the direction it was originally shot and about 5 feet past where the deer was hit.

How much K.E. do we actually need? Not all that much but some extra is sure good insurance against bone.

Sylvan,,, don't let them run you off
