Default RE: Arrow Speed, Misjudged Yardage & Ethics

Stealth Force and TFOX, thank`s for the info about the steelforce heads! I`ll have to check them out.
Rangeball, here is some info on different weight arrows out of the same bow. These arrows are not that much different in weight, but here goes.

Bow-Hoyt UltraTec with Excel one cam. 65lb. draw
In both tests, the bow was zerod in @ 25yds. for all distances.

Test # 1 using a 355gr. 2312 traveling @ 284fps.(KE=63.59)
@15yd.= 2" high
@20yd.= 1 5/8" high
@25yd.= dead on
@30yd.= 2 3/8" low

Test # 2 using a 483gr. 2314 traveling @ 244fps.(KE=63.86)
@15yd.= 3 1/2" high
@20yd.= 2 5/8" high
@25yd.= dead on
@30yd.= 3 3/8" low

Again, these numbers were achieved by shooting 3 shot groups at each distance, with any suspect shots being reshot, and averaging the groups.
Note the difference in KE between the two arrows. I know this has been discussed on different threads, but I have always found that when using the properly spined arrow, the KE will change very little.
