I got to shoot this semi/full auto rifle the other day. My first experience with one. Wow.

It's a HatsanUSA Blitz. We were hunting Iguanas in Florida. Super fun experience.

I have two of PCP rifles one is Armada 5.56 & Bulldog.375 they are damn good less recoil very low noise with .375 perfect for big games within 100 yards.
 
an all-lead 117 gr. bullet coming out at 750 f.p.s. isn't a big game round.
Unless you're just doing head shots at extremely close range.
The power level here is about on par with a .380 acp fired from a 4" barreled pistol.
 
That would be terrible, if you only shot that 100 gr. arrowhead at the animal.

Now, if the entire arrow weighed about 300 grains, that would be at lot better. The weight of the arrow shaft and fleching and nock all count toward kinetic energy.

Anyhow, broadheads work by cutting, which is NOT how bullets work.
Apples and oranges.
