So this really isn't about if you should or not. That has been run down several times in other threads. The question is just in general with the YouTube influence of THP, RF, and few others that have turned people on to single bevel and COC Broadheads. Is this good for the hunting community and most hunters? Didn't say all.
Example. My self never felt like my bow was an ethical killer on northern white tails.
Of the handful of deer I killed or hit. I never had an arrow pass completely through. It seemed like I should have been able to. My thoughts became to get a pass thru I needed to shot a 70lb plus 1200+ dollar bow. I wasen't into it enough to spend that kinda money, so I used a crossbow for a while. Until one shot didn't pass thru like it should have. So I was pondering this again. Then along came this guy RF singing the Ashby foundation stuff.
To be clear I had never tuned my bow. Didn't know there was such a thing. All the ads on TV and magazines said shot fast, big expandable blades for good blood trails. It worked until it didn't.
The people I grew up hunting with, we just practiced. The stuff out there did not stress tuning. And sounds like if it you went to a shop, there is no guarantee they were doing it right.
So if you think it's bad for hunting why?
@raisins I ask for your thoughts? I have noticed you are not a fan of high FOC. Even if your not, do you think it's good for the hunting community in general? Is it just the people presenting it? (RF as example)
If it has helped anyone else awsome. I'd like to hear your story. I know I am not the only one.
But does people shooting a heavier arrow make the community better or worse? If so why?
Let's have a pint and talk about.
