Absolutely agree with xxx, shot placement is the most critical factor. I have killed elk with a lot less that what I am shooting now. I like a heavy arrow over a fast arrow. Think of it this way. A baseball thrown at 50 mph will do more damage to a batters head than a ping pong ball thrown at 100 mph. expecially when you start looking at longer range shots??? Just my

thats true jrebel but thats like a 150 grain arrow vs 600 grain arrow as you see in my post I could add 14fps and only lose .5 ft/lbs of engery..at some point it goes the wrong way I feel if you keep your arrow to 375 to 450 grains is good for hunting at the right lbs .and yes it better to be on the heavy side.
Its good to see guys asking ?'s like this.

Again I absolutely agree with you. Just trying to put the answer in non technical terms so new archers can relate. A 2000 lb boulder will do you no good if you cant lift and throw it.....
