I shoot a 30" GT, 100gr brass insert, 200 gr head, vanes. Total weight is 570gr. Head is a 160 STOS with 40gr broadhead adapter.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I used to think I had a shoulder puncher set up....570gr arra at 270fps. Then I hit a buck in the shoulder. Penetration not so much.

Ordered some axis 300s. 11.8 gpi I think. They were only $25 for 6 from Lancaster. Gonna put 75gr brass inserts and try 150gr broadheads. I tinkered with 150gr heads and went back to 125 due to the limited options. Double check your head options before jumping. I was back to 125 before season ever started and just went with a heavier insert. If ya like the 150gr head, I say do it

My 70# bows pushing the 468gr at 278 fps in comfort. I could switch to performance and get about another 8fps but, I'm not. Shoulder bones typically win out it seems. When someone hits a bull in the shoulder, it's obvious from the shot. I watched one go for about 500yds and start rounding up cows lol

the buck I shoulder shot had come 300 yards straight to my tree an hour after I rattled at him. He turned inward just as I hit the release, resulting in a shoulder hit. He ran, walked 75 yards and lay down. I was waiting for him to drop his head and another buck came and made him get up. He went another 200 yards across a field and lay down on the edge of the field. Recovered him at dark and had to put another area in him to anchor him. Head was a big Simmons very sharp. No such thing as a shoulder buster bow set up.

I'm in the process of building my first heavy arrows. I bought some of the grizzly stik momentum TDT 240s a month or so ago. Planning now on tipping them with the grizzly stik 75gr brass insert/outserts and looking hard at either the 200gr Maasai or 200gr Cutthroat broadheads. I may order the Maasai’s.

I used to think I had a shoulder puncher set up....570gr arra at 270fps. Then I hit a buck in the shoulder. Penetration not so much. Exactly. There’s one spot in that shoulder you ain’t getting an arrow through with enough penetration for a lethal hit. All of these folks with these “shoulder buster” arrows haven’t hit it yet.

No such thing as a shoulder buster bow set up. Right, and the guys up here are trying to make them for elk. You'll punch scapula but not that big bone...

I shot a 250 pound boar with a 1 1/2 shield with my 570 grain arra, penetration was thru the near shoulder and stopped at the skin on opp shoulder, he went maybe 20 yards.

Slippin, shooting 180 gr heads. Those heads will stay sharp all season and are like a scalpel sharp.
