Arrow and broad head questions for whitetail

<< < (2/4) > >>

Pappy:
Like Pat said,heavy arrow,good 2 blade broad head,sharp as possible,and you won't have any trouble it you hit what you are
supposed to,a few inches behind the shoulder about mid body up and down will do the trick every time. ;) I think you may be over thinking it a bit,you set up is fine. Not sure on the heads you are talking about but unless they are huge and dull they should work fine. :)

Pappy that is not the first time I have been accused of over thinking something. One thing I am sure of is my sharpening skills. I can get envy thing razor sharp. :)

Pappy:
Get um sharp, pick a spot and keep the shots as close as possible and you will have no trouble with the set up you described.  :) :) :)

Stringman:
Another thing that hasn't been mentioned, but bears consideration is your arrow flight. Make sure they are flying like darts. With good arrow flight you will need very little in the way of fletching and your penetration won't suffer from excess friction upon contact. Perfect arrow flight comes from arrows tuned to your bow.

However, with this setup I would not feel comfortable taking a shot over 15 yds. You are using the lowest limits of the hunting setup and you probably should adjust accordingly. Force yourself to get close and shoot only at relaxed deer/game. Have fun!

sounds like the bow shoots hard,, good advice from above,, I too would like a 15 yard shot to start with,,, if you gain confidence and hit where you want at that range,, then extend if you like,,,,but 15 yards eliminates some variables(mostly my shooting under pressure) ,,,, I always liked a little closer shot to account for me being a little nervous,,
