Title: Big Snuffers
Post by: Avid Archer on January 03, 2010, 03:30:00 PM
In your opinion, with a big razor sharp 160 gr. Snuffer mounted on a well tuned arrow, what is the minimum bow poundage required to get consistant pass throughs on a whitetail?

Never had any problems with pass-throughs (meaning 2 holes in the deer) with bows in the 50lb and up class.  That said, Dad is recovering from rotator cuff surgery right now and has shot several does and one nice buck (around 180 inches nontypical, 200lb + dressed wt) this fall with a 42lb Black Widow and got 2 holes on all of them.

I've had pass throughs on a couple nice bucks and many big doe with 160 Snuffers and pulling 47-51lbs at my draw.

You will get many different opinions AA. Some experience and alot of speculation. You will get no better an answer than Ryan posted above as his father created them. Alot of real life, real kill experience there.And they have taken much bigger game as well.

Thanks for the info. guys, it will be Sept 2010 before I get to try for myself on a deer. March is just around the corner though, and I bet the big snuffers do a number on gobblers.
