Yep, those typically leave much larger and nastier wounds than the greatest .45 ACP rounds could ever hope to achieve. I hope I don't go out via a 1.25" broadhead piercing my body.
That just doesn't look like a very pleasant way to die. |

I would say a higher performance bow shooting a higher grain arrow is probably in the 30-35 foot pounds range(I could be wildly inaccurate in my estimate)... A LOT lower than a bullet but an arrow will generally penetrate better than a bullet as they don't expand and mushroom(unless you hit a shoulder bone or really hit a rib square). Arrows kill by slicing through arteries and causing massive hemorrhaging/blood loss. edit: Those numbers are high performance deer hunting setups. If you're going after something really big like a cape buffalo you're probably going to want to double that by going with a much higher grain arrow. |

As stated above, a 1.25" wound channel is much more than a .45 could even hope to accomplish. The damage that counts is what the bullet, arrow, ice pick, ect. can cut or puncture. The broadhead would excell in that. Add to that the bullet can push a vessel out of the way where the arrow will slice it. |

Seeing that most modern bows can shoot at over 300 feet/sec, and that, as stated above on most archery forums, most can go through a deer or pig, I would think that a broad head would go through a person as well.

big game I shoot with my bow and arrow die much quicker (bleed out) than any rifle caliber. 40 yards or less never had one not go all the way through. best part is most of the time they don't even know they 'd been shot. its like turning on a faucet. with that being said however, that would be my last choice for HD. too hard to carry around, load and complete follow up.

Broadheads will go through bone nicely. IIRC some of mine are 400+ grains. Depends on the setup. A lot of guys shoot lower grain arrows with 70# draw bows that have very aggressive cams. The PSE Omen can shoot 370fps with a heavy draw and low grain arrow. A lot of guys hunting smaller game will go with low grain setups to get faster speeds. Faster speeds mean less drop. Some guys are using the same aiming pin from 10 yards out to 30-40 yards(some also claim this lessens the chance of a deer "ducking" your arrow, not sure I buy into that theory though). Those low grain arrows will have a bad day if they hit solid, big bone. They CAN go through on small game but if you shoot a moose in the shoulder with a 150 grain arrow you probably aren't going to kill it. A good shot, even out of a 50-60# bow with lower grain heads will easily cut through a deer and out the other side. Not always, but they routinely do. |

You could cause a serious injury by dropping the thing on your foot. Ever get a decent cut with something razor sharp? Bleeds a lot, and for a long time. If something is duller it can crush the smaller vessels, and they tend not to bleed so much. Getting shot with one of those, I can imagine bleeding out pretty quickly with even first responders not able to do much. |

Given a choice of one or the other I would hand you my Glock 21 loaded with SXT and BEG you to shoot me with it before I let you shoot me with one of my 30" cedars tipped by a snuffer broadhead.
I've shot lots of animals with various firearms and loads of deer with the snuffer broadheads. Temporary stretch cavity and shock be damned,those broadheads cut a hole through a deer you can literally read a book through. As stated above I imagine the broadhead is LESS painful from what I've observed,deer shot fatally with them often go back to feeding after the initial reaction which is like they have been bee stung. BUT......your ass is going to die. |

Quoted: How much energy do those things have, generally speaking, compared to handgun calibers? This is related to the "Handguns are poor manstoppers" thread. Handgun projectile energy isn't enough to make a difference. They work in the same way as a broad head. Bleeding and/or cutting vital nerves. It's not magic. Rifles possess enough energy to create a hydrostatic wound channel large enough to over extend the elasticity of internal organs and compress nerves, etc that it greatly increases the stopping power. |

Broadheads are no joke.
Bullets work by either destroying the CNS or by causing enough blood loss to kill. Arrows naturally don't work well as destroyers of CNS...but a good broadhead tipped arrow is an exceptionally efficient means of making blood pressure drop. |

arrows (broadheads) kill by hemmoragic blood loss. Bullets kill by shock.
I Imagine getting a pass through with a broadhead would be quite simple. Especially a front on chest shot at 10 feet. Aside from the wrenching pain of slivered bones and organs, now imagine your lungs filling with your own blood. You essentially die by drowning in your own blood. Assuming the heart wasnt cut in two, or the aorta wasnt severed.. HAS to be a shitty way to go. My friend hit a doe at 10 feet this year with a muzzy 4 blade - broadside. Obviously a complete pass through. She stood there for 5 seconds pumping blood out both sides like a "Monty Python" movie as he says. She trotted 15 feet thren fell over stone dead. |
