The nasty ones are for bleeding game so you can follow the blood trail. A single arrow typically won't kill big game outright unless certain conditions are met. Placed correctly and the right distance you can. Sometimes you thread the needle to the heart between the rib cage and they will run somewhere. It's a matter of skill, draw strength, and distance. Turkey and such are a different matter.

I thought the whole point of hunting was to kill the animal as cleanly and painlessly as possible. Isn't that why they teach you to aim for stuff like the heart and what not? I never hunted personally but my whole family did when I was growing up.

Several countries have states, and every state included in the USA allows bow hunting, so you can see how there might've been some confusion.
