So many many options. Over the years with different bows all around 60-62 #’s DW I’ve learned a 420-425 grain finished hunting arrow with around a lower FOC by today’s standards of 13-15%. With two and four blade FIXED( never used a mechanical) heads I’ve blown through deer, antelope,Bear, and elk. For those drawing like 70#’s+ the sky is the limit especially with some of the high speed bows. I used to draw 70#’s on my hunting setup but folks it’s not necessary at all for North American game.
not gonna beat a WT's reflexes-read the Chuck Adamas article-the shocking science of string jumping....faster arrow makes much more noise in flight and a WT can hear the arrow and whooshing noise through the air-do all WT jump the string/duck the arrow...NO.....Spine, FOC, arrow dynamics/harmonics/deflection in flight (the bending/flexing), Mechanical broadhead typically takes 4X-5X and even some up to 6X as much force to open compared to a fixed all needs to be discussed...You can watch Bone Collector-Arrow Bounced off Bonner! here on YT and ask why and even how did that happen...happened bc it was a lightweight speed arrow shot with a mechanical-that deer still died IMO....a 420 grn arrow will kill a WT if you dont hit scap/spinal bones....but if that deer reacts and chances are you will be in a tree stand shooting at a downward angle-you have a very high chance of hitting scapula and those thicker spinal bones...even a fixed blade will have a hard time getting the 6-8" of penetration to be lethal/recover....mechanical-extremely hard to recover in that scenario-which is extremely common....have to tune and balance each and every arrow for maximum accuracy and efficiency....when you start to understand KE/Momentum calculations and the entire situation-i think its pretty negligent on our part as hunters to shoot any arrow less than 475 grains...I tell ppl that ask me, 485grn-525grn is usually about where most hunters will be for the perfect tune/balance and be extremely lethal in a worse case scenario....this entire paragraph that I have typed is what needs to be explained to every hunter....every hunter should be building their own arrows-its not that hard but it is hard for a bow shop/another person to get each arrow extremely accurate for someone else...Ive seen and recovered so many WT's that were shot by another hunter-one lung penetration and that deer dies 3-4-10-20 days later and i found them in the deer woods...the hunter that did it thinks-well that deer will recover....nope-id say 80% of the time every body shot is fatal...gut shot is 100% fatal....we as a group need to take the time to explain this message to every hunter....especially the "experienced" hunters that think any of what I said is wrong.
also understanding FOC is very important as well...i typically tell ppl you need to be at 15-21% FOC-all depends on the arrow build...but the typical 11%-15% FOC is not a good build for hunting despite what years of the hunting magazines have preached and failed to understand from not actually taking the time to understand the totality of circumstances at play
@@Jerlopy007 i can agree with that to some degree....but we have to start having more of these conversations...otherwise like i have seen time and time again....deer woods littered with dead deer from archers that failed to tag an un recovered animal...soooo they shoot another and another until the tag is filled....soon your local honey hole has nothing left...or the population is so low that disease comes in and takes out the rest of the herd....can take a generation or two before a herd recovers or in some cases, never recovers...then hunting leaves that community and something that you love and enjoy is gone forever....I speak from experience, hope it never happens to you or yours and that you share this message!

Heck yeah, thanks for watching!
Very clean work station! Great video, very detailed . Good job !!
Appreciate it and thanks for watching!
Pretty similar build to what I did this year. Seems pretty deadly...
Heck yeah, we’re gonna put some bucks down with it!
Have you considered putting on a wrap? If not, is it due to keeping weight down?
We’ve played around with it and one our team members is running wraps. More so just personal preference!

The beauty of archery is we all don’t have to agree! 😊
