Heavy arrow meets a phone book! (pic heavy)

[frassettor]

We recieved a new phone book today in the mail, so I was trying to figure out what to do with the old one.
There has been alot of penetration tests on Tradgang, and I enjoyed them, and they got my curiosity up. I realize this is not a "realastic" test, but for my own satisfaction, I wanted to give it a try, and thought I would share the results...

My specs are ...

BOW: 64" 61# Black Widow PLX

ARROW: CX 350 cut to 31" BOP, 100 brass insert

Broadhead: 190 Grizzly El Grande/100 steel adapter..TOTAL ARROW WEIGHT 781 GRAINS

SHOT: 20 yards (60 ft)

The results....

I guess it didn't matter if it was left or right bevel.

Thats quite a bit of paper to penetrate! I just want to know how you plan on cooking that beast?

[pamike]

do the same thing with a 450 gr arrow or a 550 gr arrow to see the difference......please....

Looks like a challenge for an online penetration contest is being issued!    :D

We just got 2 new phone books and the season appears to be open...at least there's a use for them now!
