Can a light crossbow arrow take down large game?

Crossbow Hunting: The Light vs. Heavy Arrow Debate [VIDEO]

Will light arrows from a crossbow handle large game? We put them to the test in a recent African safari. Check out our exclusive video.

Next to the which-broadhead-is-best discussion, the heavy-vs.-light-arrow debate is one of the most heavily commented-upon in hunting camps.

On a recent safari to Africa, I put this theory to the test using Excalibur’s Diablo arrows, among the lightest on the market. They offset the minimal weight by using a 150-grain BoltCutter broadhead for added FOC and more consistent accuracy. Will a light arrow handle whitetail deer, even elk-size game? This brief video answers that question once and for all.
