Finished arrow with the broadhead fitted - not just the shaft. Most hunting arrows run 380-500 grains.
Measured speed from a chronograph is best. Your bow's IBO rating is faster than your real hunting arrow will fly.

Kinetic energy is a rough guide to penetration potential across game sizes.

Shot placement →

⚠️ These are guidelines, not guarantees. Kinetic energy figures give a ballpark for the game a setup can handle, but arrow flight, broadhead choice and sharpness, front-of-centre balance and above all shot placement matter more than any single number. Heavier arrows carry momentum and penetrate better at a given energy, and many bowhunters weight toward momentum for big game. Check your local minimum draw-weight and equipment laws, practise to your honest effective range, and only take broadside or quartering-away shots inside it.
