To be clear I'm far from a heavy arrow guy, I'm a have an arrow for the specific critter guy. I find these threads hilarious because, for the most part, guys on this forum are shooting animals over feed. And to make it even more hilarious is the critter 90% of the time are under 200 pounds....... (I hunt over bait also in some areas, so that's not a dig) but it's creating a stationary location where yarage guessing/ranging is not needed.
When someone says, shoot ***XX weight because it goes through anything, my first reaction it an eye-roll. If these threads were actually intended to be possitive, post what you are trying to accomplish and why. Also, what are your specs, DL, poundage, draw length, poundage, arrow weight, fletching configuration. Then on to the area you are hunting, species and what your planning to expect.
In all honesty from reading comments on these types of threads, most guys on this forum don't shoot well enough to actually see a difference in an arrow build. Keep the arrow in the mid 400grain range (10grain per inch shaft, 125 grain head and you are there), shoot small mechanicals or fixed blades on elk or bigger critters and that's about as dumbed down as it can get.
Lastly, if you shoot 3-4-5 critters a year and only hunt whitetails/hogs in the same terrain/ environment, sit on the sidelines on these threads. If that can be accomplished, this thread or these types of threads would allow people to learn. If you fall into this category of I go to the lease and sit in the stand whack a few deer and hogs a year. Sit back, drink a beer, read these threads, and realize a guy at bass pro can set up your rig and get the job done!
