I think you can line 3 up and pass through 3... the 4th might give you a problem.

If what you have is good, more will be better! MORE is always the answer!

If you could crank it up to 90 you may be able to kill a few. I would stick with shooting small ones first just to make sure!

Have you shot it through a chrono to see how fast it's really shooting yet?

That's what I was thinking, maybe take out a yearling spike to be sure. Just don't want to go out there without enough bow to get the job done.

The 430 grain arrows were just above 330 on average. So I figure this should be almost exactly where I'm at.
