Frequently Asked Questions

How does a recurve bow perform in ballistic gel?

A PSE Heritage recurve bow, shooting at approximately 100 fps with practice tips, penetrated about halfway into a standard ballistic gel torso, demonstrating lower energy transfer compared to more powerful archery equipment.

What is the difference in penetration between broadheads and practice tips?

In tests with a PSE compound bow, broadhead arrows successfully passed through the entire ballistic gel torso, while practice tips stopped just short of exiting, indicating broadheads create more effective wound channels and penetration.

What are the specifications of the TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow?

The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow is capable of 470 fps velocity and 192 ft-lbs of energy. It features the ACUdraw PRO silent cocking mechanism, designed to prevent noise that could alert game during hunting scenarios.

How effective is a crossbow against thick ballistic gel?

A TenPoint crossbow with a Muzzy broadhead penetrated nearly the full 20 inches of a thick ballistic gel block, stopping just at the exit point, showcasing its significant power and penetration capabilities.
