Please consider a heavier arrow for hunting then carbons. You will not be pulling much weight because of your shoulder. Use an arrow that will shoot 125 gr heads from the weight you choose. Listen to an old hunter, not a target shooter.




You say 125 gr heads. What criteria, ie. weights, material, diameters) are at issue? Are there any particular kinds of woods?

I remember reading years ago that the most important killing issue in arrowheads was sharpness. Law here in BC says not less than a 7/8ths diameter arrowhead.
