Should work great for anything you are likely to hunt.   :thumbsup:

That will put meat on the ground.  Get close and aim straight. If you put it in the boiler room at close range broadside you should get a complete pass thru.  

Having said that, I prefer to shoot a bit more arrow weight for large game animals like elk.  I am hunting elk with a 55 lb longbow with 584 grain arrows.

What kind of shaft and at what length you shooting? Sounds like it dialed in!

I prefer a heavier arrow for a large animal like elk.  But if your placement is good, should be a short trail.

How 'bout a 3 blade Woodman Elite 250gr head out of a 55# longbow? My arrow weight was 600 gr though, and I got great penetration with the arrow sticking in the offside shoulder at 27 yards...Personally I like arrows a bit on the heavy side but that's just me  :)
