Your complete arrow design selection and tuning in conjunction with the draw wt will be a much more significant factor.

I agree with Friend, well tuned, good quality arrows. Very sharp and put them in the right place. This always works for me no matter the weight of the Bow I shoot, from 45# too 57# s. The Bow is the launcher and the arrow/broadheaad is the Bullet. Shoot straight

Does this have anything to do with the Broadhead Hole/Damage thread with the incredible showing by the Simmons Line? My buddy and I are getting some 175 Grain Tiger Sharks after seeing that thread.... I shoot 52lbs @28 with a 535grain arrow, he shoots somewhere in the 46lb range with a lighter arrow. We're gonna give it a go!!!

There are a couple of fellas in the south part of my state that use the sharks with 45# bows with alot of success. I think Mr. James Wrenn is considered the god father of shark use.
