Any sharp pointy bullet and it probably wouldn't have been questioned. Congrats! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HyNoon Report post Posted August 30, 2023 19 hours ago, jdown said: exactly what I’m saying and I’m not going to get into a d1fk measuring contest but for make a point - I bow hunt too I’ve killed 7 elk with a bow, 3 deer and I think 13 javelina now but all with what I would consider the best broadhead I can use - not something that im concerned won’t get penetration. I don’t buy cheap heads or use the garbage I used 35-40 years ago (old thunderheads or rocky razors) because there is better stuff out today that is more humane and will perform better for me and I feel will have a better chance at putting the animal down as quickly as possible. I hate long range rifle hunting and have my limit set at 500 but have killed several mule and coues within 200 and many with a 100yrds - but again with the best bullet/caliber combination I can muster for that hunt. that’s was my point is all - it’s hard enough to get tag and get an animal in position and we owe to the animals to make it count the best we can when we harvest Doesn’t make sense to make it harder for you or on the animal just to say you went old school - in my humble opinion and certainly someone getting excited about pumping rounds into something - not cool What are the best broad heads to use? Are the new thunderheads good ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdown Report post Posted August 30, 2023 Lots of good ones these days and hard to go wrong with anything out there that shoots good for you. I always keep in mind not to over due cutting diameter thinking I’ll get better penetration and flight. And I like steel vs alloy for bigger animals. But just me.

Mountain Report post Posted September 15, 2023 So traditional black power is unethical too then. One shot make it count. I don't see what the big deal is. If I had to choose between his 30/30 with 150 to 170 grain bullet, archery or black Powder I would pick that 30/30 all day long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
