with all this talk about what broadhead is the best is really making me wonder if people give any thought about how much kenetic energy that you are flingin at your deer,no matter what broadhead your using you have to have descent KE and a good shot placement,but if the time arises that you make a shoulder shot or anywhere that you hit thick solid bone,KE is what will get you thru it. here is a link to check your setup: i am shooting 81.01 KE

Me either.
I don't know (or care) about velocity and energy.
When the arrows blows through the deer and sticks a foot deep in prairie mud, I figure that's good enough.


I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.

Here is something to chew on KE is King! and recommended KE chart

My set up is the small diameter heavy spined 340 axis at 28+ inches tipped with 100 grain Montecs, T3's or a 2 Blade Rage (411 grains total)...Out of 28.5 inch draw of the "Solo Cam Newton" Switchback @+/-69lbs they are flying 280 FPS. KE= @72 ft lbs

Not sure how fast my longbow is shooting but I shoot a 502.6 gr arrow/broadhead and have had complete pass-thru shots on all 3 deer I have shot this year. (one was at 35 yards) That's good enough for me.
