Shooting a 62# @29" Crooked Stic three piece takedown longbow shooting Goldtip 3555 shafts with 225(125 + 100 grain adapter) grain Wensel Woodsman broadheads I got pentration of the broadhead all the way out the back of a 4 inch thick paperback book I had soaked in water overnight. This book had thicker, tougher paper than a phonebook. I have also shot 260 grain Snuffers(160 + 100 adapter) into the same medium from the same bow and got penetration of 1/2 an inch out of the back. 260 grain Ace 2 blades got the same penetration as the Snuffers. 300 Grain Ribtek broadhead got same pentration in the same medium as the WW.

What an idea. I can shoot them up before taking them directly to the recycle bin. Thanks.

mikecc....don't doubt your word, but a feller' can take three cronographs and get all kinds of different numbers.
Rangeball...at 5 grains per lb, you could get over 250 from a good recurve. If you have to go that light, to get over 300 fps, the speed doesn't mean much. By the way....250 isn't slow 8^).

Yep tried yesterday.
I tied up 3 local phonebooks for the test.
First I tried with the PLV 62#@29", I got through the first and into the second phonebook, 1053+367 pages.
Second test was with the Cheyenne also 62#@29. Here I got through the first and second, and into the third, 1053+386+27 pages.
Total arrow weight is 680 gr. hexshaft, tipped with a not scary sharp Magnus snuffer.
Great fun.
