[QUOTE="trex, post: 5737620, member: 16009"] With a compound bow I will use the heaviest stiffest aluminum arrow that I can live with. If I am happy with the trajectory. I always use fixed blade broadheads of 145grains or more. I set up for the worst shot, mistakes happen. I have not used my compound in years but I used three sight pins as range finder. I don't remember exactly how I did it but I put the top pin on the very tip of the deer's back and judged were the other two pins were and got the range. Not measured yards like with a laser range finder but range according to my arrow flight. I was good to 60 yards but never shot that fare on game. A heavy arrow moving at a good clip is harder to stop than a light arrow. A heavy broadhead has thicker blades that may not bend if you hit bone. I'm going to have to set my compound back up and have some fun. [/QUOTE]
