[QUOTE="H82bogey, post: 267328, member: 1372"] I would be very careful with the set up you have. You are shooting a lighter arrow, not super light, but anything under 400 grains, in my opinion gets to be very light. You are also shooting at a slower speed with a broadhead that with soak up your kinetic energy when it deploys and you won't have enough weight in the arrow to create the momentum you need for maximum penetration. To answer your question, I would say your max distance, (perfect conditions, broadside shot, no wind, comfortable stance, good shooting form, calm and stationary target) would be 30 yards. inside 20 would be ideal. If it is within your budget I would strongly consider going to a fixed blade to start and if you can swing it a bit heavier arrow. Lots of quality fixed blades out there from 2 to 3 blades. Most of those should give you a pass through on a broadside shot with your set up inside of 30 yards. [/QUOTE]
