From some of the folks I've talked to over the years that have killed the Big 5 with a bow, they all said the same. Hippos are the hardest of all of em to penetrate. Case in point. Gary Bogner got a pass thru on his Elephant. Same set up on his hippo it stopped just shy of the fletchings. It's all in his videos.

That Tuffhead Buff used on his Elephant and over 1000 grains total is where it's at on those critters.

Nice test

defiantly requires a heavy set up all around

I shot my hippo at 30 yards with a 96 lb bow and a 1250 grain arrow. 300 grain ashby head up front and 30%foc. I hit a rib going in and got 22-24 inches of penetration.
