[QUOTE="jessej, post: 2303928, member: 24557"] My goal is to shoot heavyish arrows fast. More penetration and less drop. I have more room for error. My group of bow brothers regularly practice at 125 yards. I’m a fan of the high poundage bows, I have a stable full of them. Hoyt nitrum 34 is the best IMO. I have newer bows that don’t perform as well or shoot as easy as the nitrum. 80lb. 425 grain arrow, 340 fps. I’ve killed more than I can count directly under my climber. And at that distance 50lb is as good as 80lb. But the extra speed and weight really shine at those extended ranges. White tail. 114 yards pass through. Elk. 105 yards. Pass through. Mule deer. 92 yards. Pass through. You get the idea. A good broadhead from a 50-60 lb bow will kill at these distances, but consider this. A 4 yard error in range at 100 yards equals a miss. Speed doesn’t kill, but it helps you stay on target with a bow. [/QUOTE]
