Is a 650 grain arrow from a 45# bow too slow for a whitetail?

Is a 650 grain arrow from a 45# bow too slow for a whitetail? Ask this Impala......

**Pandemic Safari** - "My story started out as a 14-day family trip to see our friend Mike Birch at Hunt the Sun Safari in South Africa. It turned into a 59-day international travel lock-down, when the whole world turned upside down with the Covid-19 pandemic. Lucky for me and my family, we were able to continue hunting and I shot several beautiful animals with my 45# Mathews Triax bow. I can’t tell you how much shooting the 650 system of Momentum arrows & Maasai broadhead have changed my hunting life!! Thanks for making a superior product!!" - Much appreciated, Carrie Fry
