I shoot 27.5" Beeman MFX Classic 600 spine at my 25.5" draw and 46#'s (at my draw). I use 70 grain brass insert with a 100 grain, 2-blade "Helix" single bevel broadhead. I use 3, 4" feathers. The arrow weights 424 grains.

I shoot recurves. Broadheads and field tips impact the same spot.

I had a similar experience with my animals in Africa. I shot a compound then, but the results speak for themselves...a complete pass through is nice, but as long as you have proper penetration you'll find your animal.
