It definitely is but I also shoot it out of a heavy bow which IMO is equally important. I shoot 71 lb. Also I would like to point out that I did not intend to build a 700 Grain arrow. That just what it ended up being. It shoots fairly quick and quiet. People seem to think that you have to aim to the moon in order to hit the bullseye. That's not true. At 20 yd its only a few inches lower. There is hardly any "arch" to arrow's flight. It is true at longer distances but not at short Whitetail distances. People also seem to forget that back in the day bows were MUCH slower than today's bows. 200fps was a pipe dream back then and we were still killing them with bows in the mid to high 100's fps. Now when I send a 700 grain at them at 240 fps, it hit's them like a sledge a hammer. The single bevel BH literally shatters their shoulders and they can't run. I pics to prove it. They are posted here on SH.
I’ve done the same thing several times with a 525gr arrow 225 total up front moving 280fps and an exodus three blade and various 2 blade double bevel.
The last time I had a single hole in a deer was about 20 ago - a 660gr fmj with a muzzy 3 blade. Direct spine hit dropped the deer but didn’t push through the spine.
Since then, I’ve had multiple arrows weighing 525 grains pass through spines and shoulders and keep going, with the same bow.
Tuned bow, FOC, broadhead sharpness and blade integrity are also significant contributors. Not just arrow mass.
Not arguing. Just pointing out that I don’t think about shot angle either inside 20 yards. But I also don’t think about a second pin because I have one pin that will cover 0-30 with same point of aim.
+500gr, +250fps, -30 yards = simplest recipe for whitetail archery success.
We agree on much. But folks don’t need to spend time/money/effort/focus to get 700gr arrows.
