RE: Hey C903
Hmmm! I posted a couple of paragraphs about my observations"¦.somewhere.
To summarize what I wrote, because I don' t want to write it all again on just an observation:
My friend was shooting in on a medium-hard foam-rubber deer (interior might be less dense). He was shooting a 62" recurve, pulling about 53# @31" draw. He was trying some different heads to determine best flight characteristics. He was shooting Bears Razors, Zwickey, Magnus, and Wensel. The heads were mounted on 2 brands of wood and Easton 2413 aluminum. I had originally thought the Wensels were 140 grn heads. I found out yesterday that the heads were 125 grn.
The aluminum mounted with Wensels turned in the best flight; although the group was left of POA, which we are sure is a spine issue.
What I eventually observed, was that not only was the Wensels flying very well, the Wensels kept considerably out-penetrating the other heads. On one shot, an arrow actually penetrated the entire foam-rubber deer, maybe through a previously shot area. About 4" was protruding out the opposite side. A few other times, the Wensel penetrated to a depth that required pushing the head the rest of the way and then unscrewing the head so the shaft could be pulled out.
I thought that performance was unusual for a shaft being launched from a 53# recurve. Distance was about 15 yards for the one that fully penetrated.
Nothing scientific or controlled, just an observation.
