I made kind of a homemade concoction when I did mine. I used gold tip 100+ spine big game shafts with 8 gpi weight tubes inside and 3 5 inch fletchings. Upfront was a 160 grain stos broadhead hand filed to a tanto tip and then sharpened like a razor on a strop. That head was jb welded onto a 100 grain steel insert. I think the total weight was 950+ grains. I shot a bowtech at 90 lbs and 29.5 inches. Those arrows flew beautifully out to 60 yards. I shot my buffalo at 32 yards and the broadhead was completely out the opposite side after hitting ribs on each side. Buffalo made it about 70-80 yards. Great combo but we had to kind of brew them a bit back then.

As for poundage, most newer bows have enough efficiency that you don't need an 80 lb. Draw. A lot of outfitters seem to be good with 70lb bows nowadays.

I used a home made concoction. I used a 83# BW recurve.
I had a heritage 350 shaft with 19" of beman flash shaft inside of it. I started out with a full length beman and it was too stiff. I cut it down an inch at a time until I got the spine right. I had a 100 grain brass insert with a 200 grain German kinetic dangerous game head.
It worked well and the Buff made it about 100 yards after the shot.
I killed 4 Australian Water Buffalo with the same setup.
That said, if I had it to do over again I would have used a 300 grain Tuff head broadhead like I used for the elephant.
