i once shot an arrow thru the door of a car with a 55 pound compound using a bodkin point...that's been 20 or more years ago...i now use a 40 pound recurve.
i shoot 30", 3555 carbons, 3, 5" helical, feathers, with two blade fixed b'heads sharpened with a KME system, no sights, off the shelf and use a release aid, too boot...
