[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 227990, member: 2736"] Britz A bow kills with momentum not energy.A 22 lr has more energy than a bow but not the momentum because of projectile weight. If you have a slow bow a heavy arrow is best. And yes it will slow the bow down even more but will penetrate better than a light arrow with the same broadhead. Back when there were no compound bows a 45 to 55 lb recurve using heaver(ceder shafts)6 to 700 grs worked well and normaly passed completly through a deer sized animal. Velocity was around 150 to 175 ft/sec. Also use a 1-1/4 dia.3 blade broadhead Dont use a larger one or penetration will suffer. You will be fine if you practice and place the arrow well.(Just behind the shoulder) you will be very successful with this combination. Learn to be a good bow hunter first and then buy a newer/faster bow. My best setup for hunting was a 90 to 95lb compound bow with 750gr arrows @ 290 ft/sec.using a 125gr 3 blade 1 3/8 dia. broadheads. This would pass completly through an Elk and through both shoulders on a white tail . J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
