I run with an Excalibur Matrix 380 with over-powered limbs.
It shoots 405 grain arrows at almost 380 fps.
Heavy spined custom Zombie Slayers.
I have always used 125 grain Spitfire Mechanicals for their huge cutting area, and the fact they are pinpoint accurate to my field points.
Did try a few fixed blades, but at that speed they tend to "steer" the arrow (planing issues).
As for trauma, it all depends where you hit them.
Here is an example from this past season that well indicates that:
The devastation was incredible.
Passed through that shoulder, through both lungs and exited out the opposite shoulder.
At 50 yards.
Impressive power, but basically ruined both shoulders in the process...
