these answers could use some proof so go out and test them. What works really well is frozen paintballs with the air turned up. Causes alot of internal bleeding and they dont run. Just point and pull the triger.

i shoot 70lbs on my bow. most times it passes clean thru and if it doesnt hit dirt or deflects it can be a b%$@h to find. TAKE A RAG TO CLEAN ARROWS when they get stuck on there it is a real mess.
