• Help Support TNDeer:

Adequate penetration

@Rabbitkil Unless you're poaching in the Elephant Sanctuary, there isn't any reason to shoot a 82lb draw weight. That borders on ludicrous. You will suffer ill effects in your old(er) age from doing something so unwise and unnecessary... no getting around that. You may feel like Superman now, but believe me, that ain't gonna last.

Wise Words from @Ski :
"Doesn't change the fact that a 12yr old kid with 35lb bow, 350gr arrow, and Rage head can effectively kill any deer in TN by hitting anywhere inside a nearly beach ball size kill zone."
 
I don't have a bow but I've always wanted to try one of these

I know there is a ton of debate about arrow weight and penetration on the interwebs idk the magic number but I believe my 550grains from a 82lb bow is more than enough.. had a little mishap with a bare shaft earlier

I figure if a bare shaft will penetrate far enough to get stuck in a cinder block wall it will go through a deer

Being brand-spanking new here and not wearing my dollar tree reading glasses, I think it's best for me to simple mention the "Ranch Fairy" on YouTube.

I've learned volumes of information from his videos; particularly the study of FOC.

I shoot about 17% FOC with a 55LB pull, and my arrows zip through. I have to run a new chrono test before I throw out my FPS memories...

Ranch Fairy; highly recommended.

Edit: I do not have a financial stake in anything I post.

I see ranch fairy as a used car salesman type personality entertainment with a financial stake

I've shot through deer with all kinds of bows and arrows with zero thought of foc , weight etc long as I could hit where I aimed I'm good

I just like to tinker and play around with stuff is only reason I know all the fine details of setups I think I'm around 12% foc at best right now

I have a smidge of experience with every facet of archery. I cannot say there's anything I agree with that he has to offer when it comes to whitetail hunting with a compound aside from use a quality SHARP fixed blade head. Everything else he stakes his fame on IMO can only be applied to traditional hunting and especially in African big game. Just my .02
