Snuffers at #47

[Biathlonman]

Folks with experience in the matter, do you think a #47 bow shooting a 490 grain arrow mid-160 has enough gas to reliable push 125 grain classic snuffers through #100-200 whitetails?  Local gun shop still has several packs of old stock for cheap.

Back in my younger days I killed several whitetails (a couple pretty good sized ones) and 3 black bears (2 were good ones) with setups about like what you describe and the full sized (160 grain) Snuffers.  I wouldn't worry about penetration at 500 grain/mid 160's FPS.

That will work

When my sons were young (10 or 12 years old) they were not getting a very good recovery rate on deer using the smaller 2 blades that I thought they needed using light equipment, some were maginal hits, some good hits. I switched thier broadheads to snuffers  and we had better blood trails that resulted in 100% recovery . They were only shooting 45# at the most with short draw lengths. Penetration was about the same ,more than enough !!

I shoot a 38# longbow with 428gr. 1816 arrows topped with a 125gr. snuffer and have had sucess with this setup more than once. Used snuffers with bows weighing from high 50's to present with success.

[Night Wing]

A definite "yes".

The old timers in my youth did it all the time with 45# bows.

[Biggie Hoffman]

I've killed a buuuuuuunch of deer with a 45# bow and snuffers.

[rolltidehunter]

[Zradix]

BISCUIT? ( think that's the right name)
Who makes snuffers gave me the big thumbs up on 45# at 29" with a wood arrow.

[rick7]

yes

[Flatshooter]

Absolutely! As far as sharpening the three blades, a bastard file works great! I usually finish on a fine stone.

[5deer]

get close and shot placement

[Steve Jr]

Heck yes buy all of them and good hunting!

[SERGIO VENNERI]

Yuuuup! Best broadhead made, out of any weight Bow! Been a believer since 1976.          

[T Lail]

[WRV]

They will do just fine

[Steve D]

Yep, been using them for years in whats considered low bow wts.
They will do the job!!!!

[Tom Leemans]

They used to zip right through coming out of a 50# bow for me, unless you hit a shoulder on the opposite side. Either way, it's too late for the deer.
