I can kill a whitetail deer with a hand thrown rock. They are a glorified goat. That’s it. A BIG one is 14” hide to hide
I’m not saying your way or anyone’s way is wrong. More than one way to skin a cat. I just get put off at the almost “excuse “ of failure on “it was my ________ fault”
Heavy arrows are great, I just feel and have shown it’s not near the factor people make it.

I have killed deer and hogs along with other critters back in the day when we were shooting overdraws with extremely light arrow and BH's that were near as complicated or well built as some today and they still worked.
Tuned bow, tuned arrow, super sharp BH and CORRECT SHOT PLACEMENT are the keys to killing an animal quick! My longest kill was 91 yards on a NM antelope and my closest was 4 yards on a 3x3 elk. They are all dead and died within sight.
Lots of things you can do to get quieter bows on the shot, better and more forgiving on the shot, but I do like the heavy arrow with plenty of FOC, but to each his own.

So several months back, I reached into my archery box and pull out 2 100 grain field points. I hold them separately and then together to feel the weight........and think to myself is this little extra and a calculator really what everybody is OCDing about?....

This year I'm using EFOC 450 Gr. arrows with a fixed blade broad head and I have shot 6 animals so far all pass thrus and through shoulder blades. Some of the shots have been quartering towards shot where I place the pin right on the shoulder. I am a firm believer in heavy arrows with EFOC. I want a heavy arrow to help me on marginal shots that touch bone or even those less then perfect slightly quartering toward shots.

I know women who kill Kansas bucks yearly at 40# 320gr with 85gr Bh.... pass through every time. It’s like a bumble bee... I guess he doesn’t know he’s not scientifically able to fly

I have been slinging 320 total grain arrows through deers vitals like butter with 55lbs of draw weight and 27" draw length for a long time. I need the light arrow for more speed with my short draw length and preffered lower poundage bow setting.
I choose the same setup on my rifle as well - (25.06)
