That's a very gnarrly question, especially when it's doubled up..

What I'm saying is, if they're both travelling at 250 fps, "yes."


Wonder if a 160 grain bullet traveling at 250fps, shot from 30 yards away would indeed penetrate to the heart of an elk if we’ll placed. It wouldn’t open, so it would be like a field point……so possibly I guess.

Would an arrow traveling 3000fps kill an elk at 600 yards?
