your on track and should do fine with that set up, especially if your getting perfect flight. I'm always for heavy is best, but flight is important. I got a complete pass through on a moose with a 58 pound recurve and 600grn arrow, and magnus 175gr head  including going through the entering rib.
Keep em close.

This is just another example of the garbage/spam we have to put up with.  Bogus registration.

jct, ....you've had a bug up your a$$ for me and Trad Gang ever since Sam Roberts changed the Paradise......

Funny, you haven't posted in over a year, and now you take a jab at us on this thread....with it a bogus registration.....maybe you were in on it.

Time for you to move on. ....I hope you can find a place or way to get rid of all your bitterness.

I'll respectfully disagree with that one. (sorry) This heavy head syndrome just started a few years ago. Before that, it was hard to find anyone shooting over 135gr.

Duh, I re-read your statement. S L O W E R this time. I agree that several thousands of elk have been killed with a 125

Is there a sheepish grin in the gremlins?

Haha, no problem Biggie!!! Been away from this one for a while, whats the deal with all the shots at the top! Ive read this whole thread, and there are some very valuable info on here for equipment recommendations! Its not a matter of superiority, but a matter of experience in my mind, and ill take that experienced prowess from all you fellow Tradgangers every time!!!

My whitetail set up is 55lb bow 600grain arrow three blade head. For elk I just switch to a two blade head and use the same total arrow weight of 600grains. Switching arrow weights has cost me critters in the past, mostly switching back to lighter arrow after elk hunts.
