Default RE: Heavy arrow, more KE....light arrow, more speed..??

ORIGINAL: Rob/PA Bowyer

Ah, I see....at 70 lbs I'm producing 80 ft lbs.... but you see, I cannot tell you the last time my arrow passed completely through an animal. I have entrance and exit holes but not arrow sticking behind the animal. Actually, it was before my ACC's....they weigh in at 381 including the 100 grain head. A heavier arrow will slow my bow but my KE will remain the same however the heavier arrow will have better penetration. I've killed 5 bucks with these arrows out of two different bows, no complete pass throughs, again exit wounds but the arrow remained in the animal.

There is a good reason for heavier arrows.
Rob your deer must have brick internals . I honestly can't tell you the lastanimal(hogs included)my arrow didn't pass completely through...
