That weight is fairly “in the middle” as far as arrow weights go.
Sure you can but don’t expect it to break heavy bone or give you maximum penetration. On soft hits when everything goes well it’ll work just fine. If that’s how you’ve set your rig up and if you’re happy with and understand it’s limitations it’s all good.


Until you’ve shot heavy, properly tuned arrows you’ll never understand the penetration potential of an arrow and how much they’re capable of.

Regardless of what you think, 440 grains is lightweight. The past 30 year trend with whitetail hunters and 3d guys chasing speed at the expense of penetration doesn’t change the facts.
