Bone shouldn't be a problem
 
I was shooting this evening at 45 yds and did not focus on this particular shot. Actually my mind wandered while at full draw, I was thinking about other hunting stuff and not what I was doing:eek:, and the bow "snatched" the arrow, my trigger finger pulled through the trigger and the arrow went over my target LOL :eek:. Anyway, I got to see the penetration power of my arrow at 55 yds and I like it :D.
605 gr arrow, 68#DW, 29"DL, probably 200fps at 55yds

LOL I have bigger ones already mounted on the woodpile waitin' for cold weather. Normally I only shoot mature trees but I didn't want to eat tree tag soup so I shot this little "spike" LMAO :D.

Most bone is equal to kiln dried poplar. Every time I change arrow setup I buy a few extra arrows and a few different thickness boards to test the bone penetration. That is some nice penetration you have there.

How easy was it to get out if in fact you could recover it? Only reason I ask is I did the same thing a few weeks back and stuck into a big tree. It only penetrated about 2 inches, but was a pain to pull out.

Agreed 100%. One of the reasons I posted this pic :D;).

It wasn't too bad but don't make the mistake of having your leg behind it when it comes free. Nocks will penetrate skin LOL.

Good shot Bruce, center mass!
Thanks, now if I could only do that intentionally at the same yardage LOL :D.
