Folks with experience in the matter, do you think a #47 bow shooting a 490 grain arrow mid-160 has enough gas to reliable push 125 grain classic snuffers through #100-200 whitetails? Local gun shop still has several packs of old stock for cheap.
Back in my younger days I killed several whitetails (a couple pretty good sized ones) and 3 black bears (2 were good ones) with setups about like what you describe and the full sized (160 grain) Snuffers. I wouldn't worry about penetration at 500 grain/mid 160's FPS.

That will work
When my sons were young (10 or 12 years old) they were not getting a very good recovery rate on deer using the smaller 2 blades that I thought they needed using light equipment, some were maginal hits, some good hits. I switched thier broadheads to snuffers and we had better blood trails that resulted in 100% recovery . They were only shooting 45# at the most with short draw lengths. Penetration was about the same ,more than enough !!
I shoot a 38# longbow with 428gr. 1816 arrows topped with a 125gr. snuffer and have had sucess with this setup more than once. Used snuffers with bows weighing from high 50's to present with success.
A definite "yes".
The old timers in my youth did it all the time with 45# bows.
I've killed a buuuuuuunch of deer with a 45# bow and snuffers.
yes.. get em.. i cant get the dang things sharp. i am sharpening disabled
BISCUIT? ( think that's the right name)
Who makes snuffers gave me the big thumbs up on 45# at 29" with a wood arrow.
yes
Absolutely! As far as sharpening the three blades, a bastard file works great! I usually finish on a fine stone.
get close and shot placement
Heck yes buy all of them and good hunting!
Yuuuup! Best broadhead made, out of any weight Bow! Been a believer since 1976. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
yes....get you a large file, good stone and a leather stroup.....oh yea, and a good frying pan.....
They will do just fine
Yep, been using them for years in whats considered low bow wts.
They will do the job!!!!
They used to zip right through coming out of a 50# bow for me, unless you hit a shoulder on the opposite side. Either way, it's too late for the deer.
