I have attempted a head shot twice. Both times = epic fail! i'll never head shoot with my bow again.  :twocents: both animals were already hit I was only trying to finish them.

I already said FPS means nothing!   :chuckle:  I cant even find where PSE advertises The KE of the full throttle.  Probably cause its less than 100.7.... :dunno:  My bow knocks animals down at 90 yards so it might be a little over kill but shortens the blood trail.

Your bow has the same KE as a. 243? At any range? Are you a betting man?   :chuckle:
