hippo harvest

[skeeter]

I have seen two different posts about it.

1= 90lb bow 590gr
2= 95lb bow 550gr. 125ke

a 550gr at 125ke is 320fps as you stated. A 345ibo bow at 30" with 95lb limbs can do 320fps.

He was shooting a pse evl. Not sure how he got 95lb limbs for that bow, but depending on what mod he was using he could have got 125ft-lb of energy.

KE is what gave him this ability. If you had enough KE, a bow that could handle a 350gr arrow, and a 350gr arrow that could handle that amount of KE, it too could do the job. we just don't have the ability to get there. We are very limited in what we can do. Now, crossbows do.

Yup, I never said it wasnt possible. Just stated what was required to achieve that KE.

Not possible for me. haha I would blow my butthole out trying to pull #95

560 grain arrow would need to travel at 320fps to generate 125# kenetic energy.

That’s because the average person doesn’t shoot a 95lb bow at 30”+ DL.

1000-1250gr is recommended because that is what will get the average shooter and bow to the KE or momentum needed for sufficient penetration.



To get a 550 grain arrow to 125+ KE it has to be blazing fast, a dang laser beam!

I would be curious what the bow specs are. That arrow would have to be going 310fps+ on the low end I would imagine to get that kind of KE.

Yeah, but, he could have gone with a more middle of the road setup with a little more weight in the arrow department. I mean, for a hunting setup, I don't see why you would want, or care to be shooting 320fps.......except for the mere fact that you can.

He, could have had even more KE

95 lbs 550 grain arrow with 125+ KE.


recommendation from the Ashby foundation is 1000 to 1250gr

My shoulder almost blew out from just reading that draw weight.

Watched that video. Funny how he keeps saying that the 570gr is heavy. That arrow is not heavy at ALL. Not for that bow.

570/90 = 6.33.

That is the same as a person shooting a 443gr arrow out of a 70lb bow.

For sure. Not that terribly heavy, but it is fast

He pulls that thang back like I do my 50lb

Big kid

I'm just getting comfortable with my Insanity at ~75 lb's.. couldn't imagine another 20 on top!

How does earths gravitational pull of 9.8 m/s2 factor in?

Got a guy doing hippo this month with a 750….
