i used to hunt deer wioth a 60 lb recurve, that tossed a lot of power.  i got pass throughs or poke thrus almost every time.  here is the kicker.--- i shot a bedded buck once while stalking.  i know bad idea to begin with, it got worse because he was about 25 yards, and sprang from his bed as the string sounded.  what ended up hapening was it was a low hit, and the arrow only penetrated about 4 inches.  the only thing i could think was that because the arrow hit him as he was rising from his bed, his upward motion negated much of the force of the arrows forward momentum.    lesson learned.

Justin Snyder:
Jamie, have you ever tested tapered shafts?  Justin

jamie:
if my shafts arent footed they are tapered.aside from flight i see no difference with the taper. the point design and shaft weight make the most difference. again at 20 yards none of it seems to matter when hunting. they still kill.
