How Far Will a Bow & Arrow Kill?
This video tests the lethal range of a 40lb draw weight recurve bow using ballistics gel and a torso target. At 10 yards, a 600-grain Easton aluminum arrow with a Grizzly broadhead penetrated 5.5 inches. Even at 100 yards, despite a high arc, the arrow achieved 3 inches of penetration, demonstrating retained lethality. While not ethical for hunting at extreme distances, the bow remains a potent tool.
