Great bull! Stuff happens, especially with archery. You stuck with it and finished the job!
Pwbergen that should do it! my uncle killed multiple elk with a 52# recurve and zwickey 2 blade double bevel with good foc and almost 650 gr, lets just say routinely buried to the fletch performance. Ranch Fairy has helped popularize what some have been doing for years, he has the ability to test and spread the word more than guys like my uncle.After shooting compound bows for 38 years, I am hunting whitetail deer with a recurve this year.
After watching a bunch of videos on heavy, weight-forward arrows by "Ranch Fairy" on YouTube, my set-up is shooting 700-grain arrows with a two-blade head from a 50-lb. bow. These arrows will fully penetrate a deer from any angle… if I can just get one to stand close enough.
500 is even better. Might want to look at Iron Will and Annihilator also. Buy once, cry once.Great bull!
What happened on the shot and why do you say your bow was out of tune?
Check out vpa broadheads and qad exodus.
455 grains is plenty.

Sometimes we all fail a little bit and thing don't always go as planned. It don't feel good, but it happens. The good new is, the freezer is full and you are still healthy.The absolute worst possible time to find out that your rest is out of tune is when you let an arrow go at a bull.
I'm going to shoot heavier arrows, and better broad heads from here out. I'm currently shooting 455gr platinum pierce arrows with a montauk, granted if my bow was in tune, I would have had more energy, but I still feel the montauk should have held up a lot better.
This guy was hard won, I'm glad things worked out, but I feel terribly for how it worked out.
They're legit, I've heard great things but couldn't get them when I was in the shopping mood. I went with 200g grizzly stik maasai and I got a LOT of confidence in them. Cheap enough I could get extras to beat on. More accurate than my field points, not joking. Granted that's out of a stickbow at 25 max but I couldn't believe the accuracy. The practice heads got really banged up but I'd file the burrs off and let them rip, they'd still be banging-together accurate. They sharpen like demons and will take a lot more punishment than you'd think with an aluminum ferrule.I'm looking at cut throat, I have a buddy that helped develop them.
