One Reason I Might Change Broadheads!

In a Zoom trial run, the host is joined by Old Grumpy Hunter (Gary), a Death by Bunjie friend and arrow, kinetic energy, and momentum enthusiast, to discuss crossbow hunting and Gary’s use of the calculators on deathbybunjie.com. They recap the fourth Death By Bunjie meet-and-greet at Tioga Boar Ranch in Tioga, Pennsylvania, where Gary took a large hog in extreme cold and snow using a Parker crossbow with a Bloodsport Witness arrow and a 150-grain Swahacker, and they compare setups including Bunjie’s very heavy arrows. Using calculated tables, they explore how arrow weight affects speed, kinetic energy, momentum, and efficiency, argue that momentum matters more for penetration, and compare Ravin R29X and R26X “sweet spots” for 100- vs 150-grain broadheads. They also preview a growing Maine hunt (Bunjie’s Bear Bash 26) and an upcoming interview with engineer Darren Cummings about these concepts.
