10 GPP, is this enough?

i do fine with 386 grain arrows....why does everyone think deer are suddenly on steriods with  kevlar covered ribs. you dont need a 5# arrow. i draw 25" and use a clicker, so the weight is always the same ( 45#) and i use a 100 gr. head, not some heavy ass brick on the end the arrow. and i get pass thrus from 15 to 30yrds...no problem. its simple...use a sharp broadhead and a well tuned arrow. dont worry about extrme foc and 14gpp. a wel tuned bow does the job fine.

i don't see where 'everyone' is dissing lighter arrows (and bows).  

the point is, heavier arrows and foc are proven allies for hunting.  

if you can deal with the adjustments required for added arrow weight and foc, great ... if not, enjoy what you have as long as it's working for you.

I like to extend my effective range out to as far as I can effectively shoot, which is around 30 yards at the moment. I personally shoot the best (with my 30" draw) with around 9.5 gr/lb, which comes out to between 520-640 grains depending on which bow I'm shooting. I try to get a high FOC with that weight, then leave it alone and focus on hitting what I'm shooting at    I guess the difference between my setup and some others is that the really heavy, high FOC setups are designed to deal with the worst of situations, while I design mine to help me best avoid those situations. The flatter trajectory is much more forgiving of distance judgement errors.
