Hunting Arrow Numbers. Need Advice.

[BowVista]

Hunting season is getting close, and I want to make sure my setup will work out well for hunting. I'm shooting well, but wondering if my arrows are heavy enough. I'm shooting around 50# @ 28" with my arrow weight right around 450 gr. (100 gr. tip). I'm wondering if that will do, or if I need to up my head weight. I did the numbers today just to check the KE, and it came out to about 27.5 ft/lbs. Is that good enough? The heads I was planning to shoot are Simmons Razor Sharks, but I'm willing to change if I need to.

Will,

That is more than sufficient for deer or hogs. Heck you could use it on Elk but, it would be on the low end of what I personally would use for them. For deer - hunt on!

How did you figure your ke without speed?
I didn't know you could do that.

I have mind powers you'll never know about Kevin! I even MADE you buy that bow, without you even realizing it.












I shot through a chrono today at Double G.

9g per # of draw weight and sharp RazorSharks will work just fine.

Good enough to kill anything you will hunt in North America.

So, mind-freak ... what was the speed?



FTR ... I subliminally made you want to sell me that bow!

Speed was 165. I thought about speeding it up with mind tricks, but decided I'd save my powers.

Will,

You gotta lay off the coffee and step away from the computer. Your making me look calm about this traditional deer season...

Just kidding, the Simmons work great on hogs, I believe we used the LandSharks. Tore em up!

Shot placement, a sharp head and that freaky jedi mind thing you got going on should make that bow just bleed out the whole county.

Now, that's FUNNY!

OK, Will, your numbers are correct ... sorry I doubted you!
I'd use what you got, that's you KNOW is shooting good and never look back.
The broadheads you're using are cut on contact, right?

Those sharks will devastate whatever ya shoot at Will!
