[QUOTE="charliewhisky, post: 2012671, member: 26716"] The arrow and broadhead are the least of your worries. I prefer heavy broadheads, with or without bleeders. Arrow placement is everything and when it isn't the game probably bleeds out and can be tracked. Don't shoot further than you can shoot accurately. If you can hit near the bull, there is enough energy to kill. Shock is not the killer. Blood loss is. A lung shot drops them close every time. Use an arrow geared for the type of hunting you will do. A heavy spine in heavy brush lets you shoot thru small gaps near your bow. (I use broomsticks.) I built my first Indian style self-bow thirty years ago. and was so excited to use it that, on a Sunday morning, I bought oak dowels from home depot, feathers from a hobby shop, and stole some heavy 1” lumber steel banding from a lumber pallet at home depot. I made 1” broadheads and used sinew from a previous kill to bind the feathers and broadhead. The bow was about 50lbs. thirty lbs. is legal in many states. I killed a doe the next day in heavy cover at a range of about 10 feet. I had blood on the arrow up to the fletching. [/QUOTE]
