Hi

I would like to know if my equipment is fine for large plains game.

MY EQUIPMENT:
Bow : Diamond Razor Edge
Arrow : Easton FMJ 340 500 grains
Speed : 210 FPS
KE : 47ke

I would also like a list of what plains game animals I can harvest with my bow.

Replies will really be appreciated

Cheers
Dox
 
Dox,

What is your draw length and what pounds are the bow set at.

I am expecting a lot more speed out of the Razor edge but it depends on the answers...
 
Add a quality cut on impact broadhead to your heavy arrows and you are good to go for any plains game.

I shot kudu, gemsbok, zebra, impala and warthogs with my bow. I had no problem with penetration on the larger animals.

I shot a matthews switchback set at 58 pounds with 450 grain arrows. Montec broadheads.
 
I shoot a 23.5 inch draw length
And really honestly shoot 67 pounds

Very important ! Make sure your arrows fly straight and that your shot placement is flawless. Keep hunting distances to less than 25 y if possible. Make sure your Bow is quiet. Good luck.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
