  • is it normal for a 40 lb bow of bamboo to punch through both sides of an 8 inch block of styrofoam at about 15 yards, with a 125 grain bodkin point, or is it time for a new target even through spots I never hit before happend three times tonight apr. 30 2011.

    never did it before though or did I overdraw the bow? I held it and let of the string with a yank since I was mad from not hitting the target where intended and punched right though both sides and they are not the broadheads you sold me.

  • @manga12 It does sound like you need a new target. We would recommend the U-Fill It 2-Sided Bag target (item #7846 on our web site). It is an inexpensive option for target shooting... just fill it with old rags, scrap plastic, paper.

  • Thanks for the reply, I'm new to bow hunting and broadhead selection is the hardest question for me. How many blades should a broadhead have for an efficent kill? What are the pros and cons for two resp. three blades (and why not even four?)

  • Glad to help! As a rule three-blade heads usually kill more quickly and provide a better blood trail. Two-blades may go further once they exit the animal, but both blades will pass through animals on a clean shot.

    Unfortunately, Youtube doesn't allow the posting of web sites in their comments section (probably to discourage spam.) I'll gladly PM you some helpful links if you like.

  • I also have a question. Can a cut on contact go through both shoulder blades of a mooose(when shooting a traditional bow?

  • Yes. If you have a good broadhead, a heavy arrow, and a good poundage bow, you can definitely punch through the shoulder blades of a moose using traditional equipment.

  • yea turns out it was going though the same spots it hit before now if I could get around to getting that new bow string I would use one of the self healing ball targets but I cant hit the broad side of a barn and would end up putting them into the fence or ground. now if I could get my target to stop flipping over on my arrows and snapping them in two.

  • thats a piece of tanned leather much tougher than rawhide

  • which would be better for big game? The woodsman from your site or the grizzly?

  • That would be of great use! Thanks
