I agree with what you posted as well.... Although not everyone hunts with pins out to 40 yards. 1 pin seems to be the rage anymore. This is when your scenario won't help the shooter.
I hunt with 3 pins myself. 25, 35 and a 45 although it (the 45)most likely will not be used.
It is clear, buckeye, that you do not comprehend the physics of the heavy arrow vs the light arrow, when it comes to penetration.
Second of all ...... prove me wrong?..... what did I say that was wrong?
Sacrificing KE for speed is wrong. There is also something called real world experience that proves to be different from numbers on paper. This is the physics part. With all of the variables. I don't think that my experiences are different than what has been published. I've shot deer with light fast arrows, until I ran into a performance issue. I started using a heavier arrow, without changing poundage, and the issue went away. Especially, if you are shooting a lighter poundage bow, 60 lbs. or less, you are better off with the advantages of the heavier arrow. How's this, It's sort of like using a .243 or a 12 ga. slug at 50 yards. They both should work, but I'd take the 12 ga.
No I understand the difference between a heavier and lighter arrows penetration abilities...... A heavier arrow will most always out penetrate a lighter arrow... What I am saying is out of todays bows, you don't need the heavier(500 grain +)arrow to put your arrow through a whitetail and have it buried in the dirt on the other side.... You are correct on most all counts, you just leave out relevant information to let people who don't understand to decide for them selves. I am just trying to show there is more than one legitimate way to do it.
I kind of figured you were related to Atlas.
You haven't been around long enough to know atlasmans and my history.... It is a little more rocky than yours... He wont even "speak" to me anymore..... [&:]
Anyways, Happy Holidays everyone....
