[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5787902, member: 20583"] Maybe. But maybe not. I've got an 80lb Hoyt RX at 30.5" and shoot 240sp arrows with 75gr brass inserts. On the archery power spectrum I'm pegging near the top. But I'm not confident my arrow would bust through shoulder. Experience has told me that the odds are not in my favor so I don't even try it. My preferred shot isn't glamorous and doesn't make me or my bow look like a hero. I aim exactly the way I'd teach a kid to aim, which is in the broadest part of the ribcage where the lungs are huge and no threat of hard bone. Doesn't make for a horror movie blood trail but it results in a dead deer inside 100yds of the shot. A lot of folks look at the holes in my deer and think I gut shot them because it's mid body, but the guts are no nearer than the shoulder is. It's nothing but lungs. I'm a screw up by nature and have authored the second volume of Murphey's Law. I need idiot proof lol [/QUOTE]
