Default RE: Arrow Speed, Misjudged Yardage & Ethics

Carbon arrows penetrate better. I do['t know exactly why, but it IS true.

2 blade, cut on impact broadheads penetrate better. Fact

Heavy arrows pentrating better than light ? I haven't seen this to be true nor false, much depends on the arrow size and broadhead used. Heavier arrows will retain more energy downrange, thats a Fact.

Slow arrows suck ? Howard Hill and Fred Bear would beg to differ. I mean, how did American Indians kill game with such slow bows ?? Stupid comment bowshopper, uninformed and ignorant of the facts.

I am shooting a 500 grain Graphlex arrow this fall tipped with a 175 gr Zwickey Eskimo. I also have some Beaman ICS 500 shafts that weight 375 grains weighted that I can tip with the Zwickeys too. I like both setups equally well. I bet I don't get 160-170 fps , do ya like that blistering speed Bowshopper ??
