Post by: david janssen on August 16, 2007, 08:11:00 PM
I have a total arrow weight of 410 gr. 35/55 goldtip with 175gr.Simmons Interseptor' is this ok for whitetail?? Ten yard shots or less. Anyone shooting this set-up?? Thanks for the advice.

That will be plenty for deer provided you hit in the lungs. Shoulder shots will be wounded animal.

Shoulder shots scapula equel gone (wounded deer) at 250fps 10 grs to the pound. None of us are there.

You are fine, just think where the arrow is going, not where it should not.

Man your good to go, I would not hesitate to go deer or bear hunting with that setup!  Keep them Interceptors razor sharp and your golden!
